168214 Blackthorn 13 October 2017

168214 passes Blackthorn in atrocious light on 13 October 2017 with the 2U10 07:01 Marylebone to Banbury Chiltern Railways service. Although this is in a rural location, a long way from any buildings, the isolated Blackthorn Cottage formerly stood just to the right of the train, and was demolished when the railway was constructed in 1910. How unluckily was that? If it had stood a few yards in either direction, it may well still be there now!
