L415 (51393, 59503 & 51351) arrives at Kingham station on 16 January 1982 with the 2A29 13:30 Hereford to Reading service. Clearly visible in the background is the embankment of the Banbury to Cheltenham direct railway, with the abutments of the removed bridge still free of vegetation. Although conifers have been planted on the course of the line that curved away to the right to meet the direct line, the site of the mirror image curve on the left can still be seen as the snow covered open area at the foot of the embankment. |
