47405 Wolvercote Junction 26 January 1986

47405 Northumbria races past Wolvercote Junction (near Oxford) with the 1O19 08:30 Liverpool Lime Street to Poole service on 26 January 1986. Note the oversize round plaque below the nameplate which carries the additional wording 'Northumbria Tourist Board Member'. This is the only picture I have of this particular locomotive, for although the original twenty ETH Class 47 'generators' were reasonably common through Oxford, this one evaded me. I obviously got my one picture of it just in time, as it was withdrawn just over month later and cut up at Crewe Works during 1988. Photo taken from a public footpath crossing, which has since been closed.
