37219 Charlbury 2 December 2015

I couldn't resist a second picture of 37219 at Charlbury on 2 December 2015, as it worked the 1Q15 09:08 Derby RTC to Derby RTC (via Oxford) Network Rail test train. After photographing the train arriving from the road bridge in the background (behind the modern footbridge), I rushed down to the station, hoping for a picture from the down platform. As the signal went to green, and the crew climbed back into the cab as I arrived on the up platform, there was no time to cross the footbridge. So despite the sun coming out weakly, I had to make do with this 'wrong side' picture. However, despite being a grab shot, I quite like it, especially with the GWR style running in board prominent in the foreground.
