56303 Islip 9 January 2013

56303 approaches Islip on 9 January 2013 with the 6Z91 10:53 Calvert to Didcot Power Station flyash empties. I don't know whether the novelty of this working is wearing off, or if most other photographers quite rightly don't like 56303's drab dark green livery, but I was really surprised to be the only person at Islip on this occasion. Given that in January this is pretty much one of only two decently lit locations on the Calvert to Oxford line, I didn't expect to be on my own here.
