43023 Charlbury (Cornbury Park) 20 June 2018

Dramatic lighting at Cornbury Park (near Charlbury) on 20 June 2018. 43023 Sqn Ldr Harold Starr One of the Few slows down on the approach to the station with the 1W32 15:50 Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh GWR service. I seemed to be standing in a favoured spot, with dark clouds all around, but in more less constant sunshine. This is the first time that I have taken a picture from this particular angle, proving that even familiar locations can yield a different viewpoint. The point in the foreground is what Network Rail call Charlbury Junction, although being just where the single line changes to double, is not really a junction in the accepted sense, i.e. the meeting of two routes.
