GWR locos at Oxford in 1965

I have added a collection of photos taken at Oxford in 1965 showing the grubby run down condition the ex GWR locos are in, most with no number or nameplates

Mainly Hawksworth Modified Halls and Collett Halls, Granges and various tank engines



Despite the condition of the locos they are still being used on Passenger turns

6998 without Burton Agnes Hall nameplates waiting to take over a passenger service at Oxford
