Class 115 DMU at Banbury

×

Details

This was the view around the back of Banbury North signalbox on 25 January 1986 as an unidentified class 115 DMU approached Banbury station following a reversal in the siding on the extreme left of the picture. The train would have left London Marylebone to where it would shortly return.

The GWR marshalling yard, once operated on the "hump basis", was officially closed in 1970 although it still received and despatched a small amount of traffic in the 1980s until the land was sold for housing development. The Great Central Railway's Banbury Branch joined the GWR opposite the signalbox.
