50035 Ark Royal passes Cropredy on 10 May 1989 with the 1V96 14:41 Birmingham New Street to Paddington service. An InterCity train worked by a Network SouthEast locomotive. It's hard to believe now just how open this location was in the 1980s, with just a few small bushes on the sides of the cutting, and a clear view all the way to Lambert's Barn in the background.
