Luxury transport for passengers at Ascott-under-Wychwood on 10 December 2011. Normally receiving a single Turbo operated service in each direction on weekdays only, First Great Western bowed to local pressure in the run up to Christmas 2011, and arranged for the 1P31 07:10 Hereford to Paddington to call at the station. A large group of locals are pictured braving the frosty weather, as 43156 Dartington International Summer School arrives at the newly constructed up platform.
