The only train in the up direction to call at Finstock on the Cotswold Line during the 1990s was the 07:02 Worcester Foregate Street to Oxford service. On 19 August 1996 165132 calls to pick up two passengers, one of whom is going to test the Turbo unit's limited storage capacity for bikes. It is hard to believe now that until the mid 1980s, Finstock's [platform was on the other side of the track, underneath the bushes on the right. Although Network SouthEast was defunct by this time, not only does the unit still carry the livery, but the lamposts have had a fresh coat of red paint! |
