In order to accommodate the new nine car Class 800/3 DMUs, several Cotswold Line stations have had their platforms lengthened during 2018. The up platform at Kingham has received a short extension, so that it now matches the length of the down platform,. 800310 passes the new extension on 22 December 2018, as it arrives at the station with the 1P47 12:06 Worcester Foregate Street to Paddington GWR service. It's hard to believe that the tracks serving the Banbury to Cheltenham line once occupied the space where the trees are now! |
