A solitary passenger waits to board 165134 as it arrives at Ascott-under-Wychwood with the 07:00 Worcester Foregate Street to Oxford service on 25 July 1995. This was one of only two up passengers services to call at this station at the time. Ascott-under-Wychwood marks the start of the long single track section to Wolvercote Junction, the end of the double track section can just be seen behind the train. A siding was retained at Ascott until relatively recently, surprisingly surviving the track singling in 1971. It was retained for the infrequent coal deliveries to the small yard, but I only ever saw it used once for the storage of a tamper unit. The remains of the end loading dock can be seen on the left. |
