57305 Heyford 24 March 2019

57305 Northern Princess worked a couple of barrier vehicles north through Oxford on Sunday 24 March 2019, but at such an awkward time for photography, that virtually everywhere was impossibly backlit. A short section of the line near Heyford is marginally less backlit than the rest, so that is where I went. A large pile of tree prunings adds some foreground interest to the picture, as the debranded Northern Belle liveried loco heads north with the 5M59 09:08 Eastleigh Arlington to Leicester.
