A couple from the North Warwickshire line in 2010 - just before they closed.

 

Bearley Junction (hiding in the trees):

I like the mix of technologies in the last photo at Bearley Junction; semaphore signals, mechanical points, GSMR mast and antennas (even an NRN antenna halfway up the mast).

Horton in happier times, 1st August 1980. 47543 with the morning Nottingham - Glasgow. Rescued as much as possible from a ropey Agfachrome colour slide.

 I must have liked Horton because a bit more scanning has unearthed another one, this time from the same service on 8th April the following year. 47548 in charge on another misty day.

Bicester 1979, Ascott under Wychwood 1981, Greaves Siding 1998.

That is, of course, Bicester London Road on the old LNW Varsity route. The area looks very different today.  The station has been named Bicester Village by Chiltern Railways (in recognition of the nearby retail park) but it hasn't gone down well with the locals. The old station was latterly Bicester Town.
