The original 645 transparency of this image was found in an old developing tray in the spare room once used as my darkroom and I thought it worth scanning. I've no idea when it was taken but circa late 1980s and was obviously from Kings Sutton, taken in the early evening on a slightly misty day. The collection of vehicles heading for Banbury ( 115/108 and 101/suburban hybrids) is best described as a mish-mash both of colour schemes and classes. Peter Tandy.
7th March 1993
Vehicle: 55022 Set: L122
A Network South-East 3 coach DMU formed of single unit 55022 (L122) standing in for a DMBS in a suburban set (a Class 117?) made a pleasant change from the by then more usual class 165 Thames Turbo set as it worked the 15.30 Reading to Banbury service on 7 March 1993. The location is one of the best known in the area; a few hundred yards north of Kings Sutton station with the distinctive spire of the church of St Peter and St Paul prominent in the background. Peter Tandy.

In 1993 there were hourly local trains between Oxford and Banbury operated by Network SouthEast DMUs. On 7 May, 3 coach class 101 (L839, presumably 53326 + 59306 + 53310) in full NSE colours was allocated and it is seen here between Banbury and Kings Sutton stations shortly on an early afternoon working. Peter Tandy.

A Class 121/148 combo at Kings Sutton taken from a boat on the Oxford Canal 23rd April 1986. The working will be a Banbury Oxford stopper which was just the sort of service they were intended for. Robert Forsythe.

A shot from the roadbridge at Kings Sutton taken on 14 June 1988 with a standard 80mm lens on a Mamiya 6456. The train is an unidentified class 115 set in standard blue & grey livery but with a NSE flash on the cab end working a London Marylebone to Banbury train. Peter Tandy.
8th May 1989
Vehicle: 51220 Set: L204
I quite often used to have an afternoon at Kings Sutton in the late 1980s and early 1990s when there was an impressive variety of different types of trains to photograph. This picture of NSE Class 101 L204 (51220 + 54371) was taken on 8 May 1989 (from the roadbridge with a 150mm lens) as the unit worked a peak hours Didcot to Banbury service. Peter Tandy.
27th October 1988
Vehicle: 51225 Set: L202

28th September 1992
Vehicle: 51381 Set: L405
Plenty of water at Kings Sutton on 28 September 1992 as class 117 L405 (51381+ 59491 + 51340) working an Oxford to Banbury local service met 60079 on its way to Didcot Power Station. The River Cherwell flows through a floodplain around here and this scene is repeated most years. The floodplain is wide and as the railway line is on an embankmemt it is rarely closed due to high water levels. Peter Tandy.
14th June 1988
Vehicle: 54070 Set: 201
The front end of blue and grey two car Met-Camm class 101 set 201 (54070 + 51212) wasn't in the best of condition with several rusty patches showing when it was photographed just after leaving Kings Sutton station on 14 June 1988 while working an afternoon Oxford to Banbury local service. Within a few months it was repainted into full NSE livery and received an "L" prefix to the set number in line with other units operated by NSE. Peter Tandy.
14th June 1988
A Class 115 in blue and grey with NSE flash on the cab front was nearing the end of its London Marylebone to Banbury journey when photographed at Kings Sutton on 14 June 1988. The tower and spire of St.Peter and St.Paul's church in the village is one of the most recognisable features of this scene and has featured in thousands of railway photographs over the years. Peter Tandy.

A 4 car DMU is seen approaching Kings Sutton on a Banbury to Marylebone service one evening in Summer 1989. Unusually, it is not the typical class 115 4 car high density unit, but a hybrid made up of two 2-car sets, one car of each being a low density Derby class 108. Murray Liston.
