Class 50 with Old Oak Common ECS near Swanbourne

            Class 50, 50047 on the Oxford-Bletchley line on 29 September 1983 with the Old Oak Common-Wolverton ECS with 10 coaches plus guards van. Not the best of photos not helped by it being a foggy autumn morning but included for its rarity value. Only one other Class 50 working was known by the photographer on this line. This was when a bridge at Leamington Spa was being replaced and trains were diverted via Bicester and the West Coast main line on 25 September 1983. It was photographed between Swanbourne and Swanbourne Sidings a site unrecognisable today with the building of East-West Rail with even the bridge from where the photo was taken replaced by a new one a few metres to the west. 50047 went through both Bicester stations on this day as in the evening it worked the one remaining locomotive hauled working on the Chiltern line with the 17.40 Paddington-Wolverhampton.
