It is 16:15 on Sunday 12 April 1992, and the first two trains of the day on the Cotswold Line meet each other at Kingham station. It is unthinkable now that the Sunday service did not start until so late in the afternoon. While 43139 waits with the 1B32 14:40 Paddington to Great Malvern service, 156452 approaches with the 2A65 15:10 Great Malvern to Oxford train. Not only the traction has changed in this view, as the traveller's camp in the background is now an industrial unit, and an extended car park has replaced the remains of the bay platform on the left. Gone too is the vintage bullhead track. |
