55020 (121020) & 55034 (121034) pass Bucknell on 13 October 2017 with the 5T01 08:08 Aylesbury to Tyseley ECS. This was the vintage pair's final mainline outing, prior to a new life in preservation. I had earlier photographed them at Blackthorn, but a lengthy layover at Bicester allowed plenty of time to get to this location for a second picture. Just after the train had passed the sun came out briefly. On this occasion I was glad that the sun wasn't out, as the train would have been coming straight out of the very low sun - not good! |
