Whiteout conditions at Kingham on 19 January 1985. B425 (51363, 59515 & 51405) arrives with the 09:07 Didcot to Hereford service. The fog is limiting visibility to less than 100 yards and with packed snow underfoot and the temperature well below freezing the photographic conditions are certainly not ideal! Note the newly erected HST stop board just under the bridge, a consequence of these trains (which had just been introduced to the route) being too long for the platforms. |
