50013 Hinksey 4 July 1985

50013 Agincourt gathers speed as it leaves Oxford and passes Hinksey Yard with the 1A10 06:00 Hereford to Paddington service on 4 July 1985, while 31272 waits in the up loop with the 6V19 06:32 Bescot to Didcot Speedlink. A nice sunny morning, but very hazy. The footbridge here offers excellent views in both directions, but I kept wishing it was wider, as this is as far to the side as you can get on the east side, whereas on the other side, for afternoon trains, one has a choice of viewpoints.
