56045 approaches Oddington crossing on 26 April 1984 with the 6M24 05:15 Stoke Gifford to Wolverton ARC stone train, running over an hour late. At the time there was no problem with such late running, as there were no passengers services on this Oxford to Bicester section, and with only one other stone train, the Bicester MoD freight, and the occasional ECS to Wolverton, there was little else to get in the way. However, in retrospect all that freight traffic seems quite a lot!
