B428 Ascott-under-Wychwood 10 June 1984

On Sunday 10 June 1984 the Cotswold Line was closed for track relaying in the Combe area. Consequently, trains from the Worcester direction were terminating at Ascott-under-Wychwood, turning this normally little used country station temporarily into a relatively busy rail hub! B428 (51366, 59518 & 51408) is pictured at Ascott, after having arrived with the 2A75 09:32 Worcester Shrub Hill to Ascott-under-Wychwood service. The passengers had been ferried to their destinations in a fleet of coaches.
