Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Banbury Station, Oxfordshire, with Newcastle – Bournemouth express
View northward; ex-Great Western main line London, Oxford etc. – Birmingham etc., junction of connecting line from Woodford Halse on the ex-Great Central main line from Nottingham, Sheffield etc. This important cross-country express has arrived with LNER B1 4-6-0 No. 61078, which will come off at Oxford and proceed probably with SR motive-power via Reading West and Basingstoke. Banbury (General) station was completely rebuilt and enlarged in 1956-58, having been a terrible bottleneck before that. The line from Woodford was closed along with the GC main line on 5/9/66, since when all north-south cross-country trains have had to run through Birmingham.
