Brilliant stuff!

@kezbell Thanks for that. At the end of the journey it pulled into a bay platform I think and we crossed the platform for an onward train to Hampshire, 'cross country' fashion as my father used to say. As we waited a 38XX ran through with a pleasing coating of grey weathering. When we left we passed a long tanker train with a 9F running dead slow, I guess running slowly up to a red. Just glad to have been old enough to remember steam!

Great shots of the old Oxford Station (what a hole it was - just like the current one!). Amazing how a town like Oxford never seems to have a fitting station.
There were indeed a lot of Southern locomotives on the Cross Country trains then.

Pleased it gave you some pleasure. Have just been back to Oxford for the first time since filming and I see what you mean. Even the remains of the old LNWR station were still there back then.

I seem to remember being pulled by a pannier tank from Banbury to Reading (or possibly Oxford) when I was about eight years old. Is this a false memory? Or was there such a service?
SteffanLlwyd 1 year ago
That would be on the GWR London - Birmingham main line and a pannier tank would be a distinct possibility - ifit was a through train to the south through Oxford it would have handed over to a Southern loco at Oxford. That is from personal memory, I have not a definitive answer.

So pleased it stirs up memories, mostly happy I hope. I used to work with an ex goods guard on the South Wales lines. Was there really that mmuch water in the Severn Tunnel?
