With the snow from the previous week still covering the ground, and the prospect of a sunny day, I ventured out on Saturday 9 January 2010 to Hinksey (near Oxford). Wisely leaving the car at the top of South Hinksey village, rather than being unable to climb the slight hill back out of the village if I used my usual parking spot, I was still quite surprised to be the only railway photographer that had ventured to this location. I arrived on the footbridge just as 66566 appeared with the 4O29 08:14 Crewe Basford Hall to Southampton freightliner.
