50013 Radley 1 December 1983

An almost monochromatic backlit picture of 50013 Agincourt as it speeds through Radley station on 1 December 1983 with the 1A26 09:50 Paddington to Oxford service. It is pictured in refurbished condition yet still carrying the original rail blue livery, one of six class members to do so. Radley station looked completely different in 1983, with car parking on both sides of the site, a remarkable lack of lineside clutter and of course the original (although shorn of its roof) Great Western Railway footbridge.
