59202 Steventon Stocks Lane 10 March 2015

59202 Alan Meddows Taylor MD, Mendip Rail Limited approaches Stocks Lane level crossing, Steventon, on 10 March 2015 with the 6C54 13:06 Oxford Banbury Road to Westbury Mendip Rail stone empties. In the background is Steventon road bridge (still with white signal sighting patch). There has been extensive local opposition to Network Rail's proposal to demolish this historic bridge and replace it with an ugly concrete substitute, as part of the Great Western electrification programme. At the moment there is an impasse after intervention by the local MP.
