The good old days, before inter-regional trains were downgraded to five car DMUs! 47549 passes Hinksey Yard on 22 October 1985 with the 1O19 08:01 Newcastle to Poole service. Prominent in the foreground is a train of Royal Corps of Transport containers, which had arrived a little earlier from MoD Bicester.
