60046 Appleford 11 October 2022

60046 William Wilberforce passes Appleford on 11 October 2022 with the 6Z52 11:18 Oxford Banbury Road to Machen Quarry stone empties. This train leaves the stone terminal directly behind the 1T21 10:03 Marylebone to Oxford Chiltern Railways DMU, but on this occasion that was running 21 minutes late, so then the Class 60 lost its path through Oxford, and was consequently 17 minutes late here. The delay has not helped the already very head on lighting.
