The weak early morning sunshine is doing its best to break through the mist at Wolvercote Junction on 27 March 1982, as 50032 Courageous comes off the Cotswold Line with the 1A49 07:00 Worcester Shrub Hill to Paddington service. The line of trees in the background marks the course of the former LMS 'Yarnton Loop', a line that connected the Cotswold Line to the Oxford to Bletchley line. The line closed on 8 November 1965. |
