47460 Wolvercote Junction 18 August 1991

A little bit of Scotland in Oxfordshire! Sporting a Highland Rail stag emblem, 47460 Triton approaches Wolvercote Junction on 18 August 1991 with the 1M96 15:15 Poole to Wolverhampton InterCity service. The loco had been a Scottish stalwart since the late 1970s, but in October 1990 it was transferred south to Crewe, and then in January 1991 to Tinsley, where it acquired its unofficial Triton name. When this picture was taken it had moved back to Crewe, so its appearance in the Oxford area was not as unusual as the livery would suggest.
