50020 Ascott-under-Wychwood 13 March 1982

50020 Revenge rattles the windows of Ascott-under-Wychwood Signal Box as it charges off the double track section of the Cotswold Line on 13 March 1982 whilst working the 08:08 Hereford to Paddington service. It wasn't until I was scanning this Kodachrome slide that I realised just how few trees there were at this spot in the early 1980s, in fact on the original slide the footpath crossing round the curve towards Shipton can clearly be seen (to the right of the loco near the solitary tree).
