56301 & 56312 pass Hinksey on 4 December 2012 with the 6Z91 10:55 Calvert to Didcot Power Station flyash empties. 56312 had disgraced itself the previous day, by failing at Calvert. 56301, which just so happened to be passing through Oxford, was sent to assist, but the train was cancelled, and so this train is effectively a day late. Typically, after standing around in full sunshine for ages, just as the Grids came into view, a small cloud did its best to try to ruin the picture. Thankfully at least the locos are in the sun. |
