The photographs started at Oxford. Here 47523 waits to restart the 1O01 06:45 Wolverhampton-Poole service.

Met Cammell Class 101 DMU unit 830 runs north out of the station ecs to the carriage sidings ready to take up its next working. The water tower from the old steam shed can be seen just above the rear cab.

47270 appeared on what I think was a Washwood Heath-Oxford Hinksey Yard Speedlink service.

47434 runs towards Oxford station passed the old graveyard with 1M88 06:25 Poole-Manchester.

47270 returns north light engine after depositing its Speedlink service.

A rather cluttered shot deplicting 47533 with the ecs from 1F12 08:20 Paddington-Oxford.

47621 ran north towards the station light engine.

47533 returned to the capital with 1F27 09:55 Oxford-Paddington seen here just after departing Oxford station.

1M20 09:17 Paddington-Birmingham New Street was at the time a good bet for 50 haulage, 2nd March 1988 was one of the days that it produced. 50009 has charge of the train switching from the mainline onto the platform line.

First sighting of the day of a Class 56 was 56039 working a block train of ARC empties, no doubt back towards the Mendips.

Shortly afterwards the second Class 56 of the day appeared in the shape of 56044 with a loaded rake of ARC PGA's.

The 1F29 10:55 Oxford-Paddington was powered by 50032 waiting here at the up platform for the off.
