After having reversed at Morris Cowley, 950001 passes the site of Littlemore station on 6 February 2017 with the 2Q08 08:26 Oxford Down Carriage Sidings to Oxford Down Carriage Sidings (via Leamington Spa and Didcot) Network Rail test train. As it is now extremely unusual to get anything other than the BMW Mini car trains on the Morris Cowley branch, this was definitely worth photographing. The former Littlemore oil depot was situated where the bushes can be seen in the background. This closed after a brief renaissance in the late 1990s. |
