L427 Kingham 16 April 1987

Ford Escort van NML260L isn't going anywhere in a hurry at Kingham on 16 April 1987! L427 (51407, 59517 & 51365) approaches the station with the 2A56 16:46 Hereford to Oxford service. This area is now part of Kingham's extended and properly surfaced car park, but in 1987 the only vehicle parked this far away from the station building had no wheels. The red van was last taxed a few months previously, but curiously the DVLA lists it as black. Just how many times had it been repainted, as yellow is clearly showing through the red in various places!
