50017 Radley 30 June 1988

50017 Royal Oak approaches Radley on 30 June 1988 with the 1F52 17:32 Paddington to Oxford Network SouthEast service. Amazingly, from Reading this was an 'all stations' service, so the passengers at Radley will have eleven coaches to choose from, rather than the three that the equivalent train today would offer! Note the former pointwork for the Abingdon branch. The line closed in 1984, and although the majority of the track was lifted shortly afterwards, the two points visible here survived a little longer.
