This picture was taken from a footbridge just south of Oxford station on 24 April 1990. 56 046 is seen passing through the station with, what I think is, a Wolverton to Tytherington stone train. The two class 121 units were coupled together to work an Oxford to Banbury service. click here to enlarge.
