Oxford Flyer
See also the B&W one (that I prefer) that is next. <--
Actually it's a Stourbridge Junction Flyer' but that's not so snappy-sounding. This class 68/DVT set was substituting for a class 168 on the 21.10 Marylebone to Stourbridge Junction - and who could resist a 100 mph run behind a 68 (sitting at the front of the first coach obviously) when the alternative is a 75 mph class 165 'semi-slow'?
No 68 010 'Oxford Flyer' has paused at High Wycombe. The image is a bit grainy but it kinda captures the moment. Waiting on the platform for my stopper, I could still hear the 68 as it roared through the night in the region of West Wycombe around three miles away.
