47040 Hampton Gay 12 January 1980

47040 passes Hampton Gay on the foggy and frosty morning of 12 January 1980 with the North Staffordshire Railway Society 'Knotty Rambler' railtour. The train is obviously easily identified by the huge headboard, but I can find no mention, either in print, or on the internet, of this train. As the North Staffordshire Railway Society was the forerunner of the Churnet Valley Railway, that probably gives a clue to the point of origin. But where was it going to? The train is just crossing the bridge over the River Cherwell.
