A train of new concrete sleepers occupies one of the lines in the foreground, as L401 (51375, 59485 & 51333) passes Hinksey Yard on 14 April 1988 with the 2C27 12:43 Oxford to Reading Network SouthEast service. The only other occupants of the yard are a few odd wagons that have presumably been detached from the local Speedlink trip workings.
