56033's train weaves across from the Bicester line, over the up relief, and onto the up main line at Oxford North Junction on 28 July 1983. The train is the 6V11 09:30 Wolverton to Stoke Gifford ARC stone empties, on this occasion running 40 minutes early. This was the first of the two daily ARC trains that traversed the Bicester line in the early 1980s. The only other traffic being the occasionally empty stock move to Wolverton. The second ARC train was pictured later in the day at Hinksey, headed by an equally dusty roofed 56031. |
