47773, return leg of The Chiltern Champion 1, 12.40 London Marylebone-Oxford (1Z55), Wendlebury SP561182
The end of the line! As 47773 is towed at
the rear of the 12.40 Marylebone to Oxford Chiltern Champion charter the exhaust from D1015 'Western Champion' can be seen in the afternoon sun. In five days time, this route will close and be completely rebuilt as the first phase of the East-West rail link eventually uniting Oxford with Cambridge again.
