Running 15 minutes late due to a late running First Great Western service (no surprise there then!), MPVs DR98912 & DR98962 approach the site of Yarnton Junction with the 3S31 09:55 Kings Norton to Ledbury (via Oxford) Rail Head Treatment Train on 7 December 2008, the final daylight working over the Cotswold Line for the season. The menace of palisade fencing has even invaded this remote spot. Despite the fact that the fence visible here would hardly be a deterrent to trespassers, the bramble choked former occupation crossing near where I am standing now has a single panel of palisade fencing standing in glorious isolation. You really have to question the logic of this particular waste if money!
