166217 & 166208 pass the recently pollarded trees at South Moreton on 30 April 1994, as they head westwards with the 1F58 16:48 Paddington to Banbury Network SouthEast service. Although once past Oxford this train would become a local service, stopping at Tackley, Heyford and Kings Sutton, it would not be calling at Didcot, instead it would bypass the town via the east curve.
