56091 Islip 13 May 2013

56091 passes Islip on 13 May 2013 with the 6Z91 10:53 Calvert to Didcot Power Station flyash empties. As can be seen from the piles of chippings in the foreground, a large amount of vegetation clearance has taken place in readiness for the Oxford to Bletchley line's forthcoming upgrade. This has opened up numerous new photographic viewpoints, including this one from Islip's recreation ground. The bridge in the background is one of two that cross the line in the centre of the village.
