Presumably this is the only occasion that a National Power liveried Class 59 has visited the Didcot area. After being named Vale of White Horse at Didcot Power Station the previous day, 59202 heads back to Ferrybridge on 29 September 1996 with its rake of hoppers. Despite the gloomy weather, I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to record this unique event, and this location at Culham seemed the obvious spot, as its place of naming can clearly be seen in the background. Until its later acquisition by EWS, 59202 never worked in the Vale it was named after.
