33207 Jim Martin & 33039 & 47802 are seen at Bicester Village with 1Z75 'The Verney Venturer' to Acton Canal Wharf, where the 33s ran round for the final leg back to Bristol Temple Meads via Melton Mowbray, Leicester, Nuneaton and Birmingham New Street. This was the first train with fayre-paying passengers to run on the partly re-opened East-West 'Varsity Line' line between Bletchley and Bicester Village, that will eventually reconnect Oxford to Cambridge as a direct route.
