L408 (51385, 59495 & 51343) heads north from Oxford on 23 June 1989. There are a couple of unanswered questions here. Why is the destination blind showing 'Oxford', when it has clearly just left Oxford (the station can just be seen in the background). Also, what exactly is the working? There is nothing in the working timetable, either passenger or empty stock, anywhere near this time. It could possibly be the extremely late running 2H60 17:56 Oxford to Banbury Network SouthEast service, but that was specifically booked for a Class 101 at the time, having a note in the working timetable to that effect. Also note that although there are three Class 47s in the remains of Oxford shed, all the carriage sidings, on both sides of the lines, are completely empty. |
