A solitary passenger waits to board 165134 as it arrives at Ascott-under-Wychwood with the 07:00 Worcester Foregate Street to Oxford service on 25 July 1995. This was one of only two up passengers services to call at this station at the time. The low morning sun and the inclusion of the solitary figure makes this one of my favourite Cotswold Line pictures. The train has just joined the long single track section to Wolvercote Junction, the end of the double track section can just be seen in the background. A siding was retained at Ascott until the 1980s, surprisingly surviving the track singling in 1971. It was principally used for the infrequent coal deliveries to the small yard, but I only ever saw it used once for the storage of a tamper unit. The remains of the end loading dock can be seen on the left.
