In a brief sunny interlude, 66502 Basford Hall Centenary 2001 passes Heyford on 1 May 2010 with the late running 4O14 06:39 Birch Coppice to Southampton freightliner. The wait for this train was enlivened by a near miss slow speed collision of two narrowboats on the nearby Oxford Canal! One didn't see the other approaching due to the narrow gap of a bridge, with the result that there was much reversing of engines to avoid an impact. Not that much damage can be done at 5mph!
