55004 passes Songar
(between Claverdon and Bearley) with the 12:25 Leamington Spa to
Stratford-upon-Avon service on 6 December 1986. 55004 was withdrawn in
October 1990 and scrapped almost immediately at Mayer Newman, Snailwell.
The Hatton Junction to Bearley Junction line was singled in 1969, although
note that a short section of track was left at this crossing and just be
seen in this picture. |

975042 (formerly 55019 and
still at this time carrying its set number L119) ambles over the river
bridge near Walton Well Road, Oxford on 7 April 1990 with a northbound
crew training run. 55019 had a relatively short life as a passenger
carrying unit, being taken into departmental use as early as 1969. Note
the extensive area of allotments in the background (formerly much used by
local railwaymen) with Wytham Hill in the distance. |
