60055 Thomas Barnardo slowly passes North Oxford Golf Course on 16 June 2022 with the 6Z33 11:18 Oxford Banbury Road to Willesden DC Rail Sidings stone empties. This was a last minute replacement for the 6Z33 11:18 Oxford Banbury Road to Bristol Freightliner Terminal working. As is often the case, this was running early, as it left the stone terminal as soon as the 1T21 10:03 Marylebone to Oxford Chiltern Railways DMU was out of the way. Although the newly mown grass field gives a good impression of a golf course, the golf club is actually on the other side of the line, behind the bushes. Stray golf balls on the track seem to be a hazard here, as two balls can just be seen lying on the ballast in the shadow of 60055's buffer beam! |
