To emphasise how much passenger growth there has been in the Thames Valley in recent years, here is a view of Radley station on 21 July 1990 with just a solitary Mini parked in the car park! L205 (51443 & 54385) pulls away with the 06:30 Reading to Bicester Town Network SouthEast service. Note the passengers on the up platform awaiting the arrival of the 07:15 Oxford to Paddington service, the first train of the day in that direction, unless you count the one just after midnight! |
