Unknown Date
British Railways (Derby Lightweight) single unit (DMBS) railcar M79900 at Banbury Merton Street station with a service for Buckingham - c.1958. Remarkably this railcar survives to this day, having been rebuilt as test coach "Iris", based at Bletchley and numbered 975010 in the departmental series. Its last years of service were with the Research Centre at Derby where it was again repainted into lined green livery. It is now preserved at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. 53A Models of Hull Collection.
1959
A 2-car Class 108 DMU in lined green livery sits at Banbury Merton Street station with a service to Buckingham. The station had lost it's overall roof in the 1950's and it remained open to passengers until 1961. The site of the station is now a housing estate, although the portion of dock for the siding to the right of the DMU remained in situ until the housing estate was built in 2005. David Lawrence.
October 1959
Banbury Merton Street was the archetypal little country terminus, perfectly proportioned and with an overall roof, sadly devoid of glass by the time of Peter's picture in October 1959. The Bletchley bound railcar is one of the Derby single cars either M79900 or 79901, the route will take it to Bletchley via Buckingham and Verney Junction. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
