166218 arrives at Kingham station on 9 July 2016 with the 1P71 16:34 Great Malvern to Paddington GWR service.

This, together with the lineside trees, explains why my classic 1980s viewpoint from the old Banbury to Cheltenham line in the background, which gave an excellent view of trains travelling in the opposite direction, has now gone forever. |
