A superb new photographic vantage point has been created near Charlton-on-Otmoor, on the recently upgraded Bicester to Oxford line. Previously Holts Farm was accessed by a private level crossing at the end of a long lane from the village. Now a new bridge has been constructed just to the south of the original (now blocked) crossing, and a new concrete road goes round in a huge loop to connect to the farm. Until the bushes planted by the fence grow up, this gives fantastic views from all angles. 168218 & 168002 head south on 5 May 2016 with the 1T52 17:50 Marylebone to Oxford Parkway Chiltern Railways service. The site of the old level crossing is just behind the rear of the train.
