7029 'Clun Castle' powers its way away from Banbury heading south with the Oxford 175 Express. This train left Solihull at 06.53 and was making the short trip to Oxford where it then led a round trip via London to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the railway arriving at Oxford. Unfortunately, the exhaust from 7029 has imposed somewhat on the photograph, I was hoping that it would have been a little more behind it as the wind was blowing from the south east, perhaps it was the effect of the M40 motorway embankment crossing the line that is behind me?
