B432 Hinksey 8 February 1986

A brief burst of sunshine at Hinksey on 8 February 1986, as B432 (51370, 59522 & 51412) passes the snow covered yard with the 2A13 13:40 Oxford to Didcot service. The Oxford Ice Rink (opened two years earlier) is prominent on the right. Designed by the well known architect Nicholas Grimshaw, it was certainly a daring design for Oxford at the time, and locally acquired the nickname 'Cutty Sark' due to its ship like appearance.
