In the final few months of Class 50 operations on the Cotswold Line, 50030 Repulse leaves Kingham station on 22 January 1989 with the 1B31 13:45 Paddington to Hereford service. This is in the very last of the weak afternoon sunshine, but this is the first northbound train of the day on a Sunday at this time! Although this is one of the few pictures that I took of a revised Network SouthEast liveried Class 50 on the Cotswold Line, I still prefer the picture I took of the same locomotive at the same location in 1987. |
