Charlbury station, pictured when it was a sleepy Cotswold station, with fairly infrequent trains, and moderate patronage. L425 (51405, 59515 & 51363) pulls out of the station with the 2B60 17:15 Didcot Parkway to Moreton-in-Marsh service on 9 May 1987, it's passengers either walk off towards the town, or get in their cars for more distant destinations. The car park has yet to be extended (twice since this picture was taken), yet there is still plenty of room for me to park my white Vauxhall Cavalier (long before pay and display!). This DMU survives intact in preservation, and can now be seen just a few miles to the west, on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. |
