11th September 1971

Appleford Halt on 11 September 1971. Although the track has been relaid with concrete sleepers, the Halt itself still retains its GWR features - wooden platforms, the pagoda-shaped corrugated iron waiting shelters, and (off to the right) a brown and cream "APPLEFORD HALT" nameboard. BRC&W unit 470 (presumably 50305 + 59472 + 51320) is entering with the 17.20 Oxford to Paddington train. No doubt I'd visited Pendon, a modest walk across the meadows from here. Tom Burnham.

19th August 1976

Didcot on the 19th of August 1976 with the Power Station overlooking everything. The slide mount gave Class 119 DMU set L586 as on the 2B40 service to Paddington, but given the tail lamp, headcode and track I think we can assume that was from Paddington. It was probably made up of 51077/59420/51105. In the yard we have 08835 and 47024. 08835 was a Reading loco as you would expect and 47024 spent 1976 flitting between Laira, Canton and Bath Road.
