SP3519 : Station platform view - Charlbury, Oxfordshire
taken 15 years ago, near to Charlbury, Oxfordshire, England

Station platform view - Charlbury, Oxfordshire
A view south-east on platform 1 at Charlbury Station where passengers wait for their trains to Oxford and points in between. Originally on the Oxford Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway - fondly known as the Old Worse and Worse - Charlbury Station was built in 1853 and restored in 1979. The track was doubled from single track in June 2011 and Platform 2 renovated. The station is some distance from the village, on the other side of the River Evenlode, but this may be because they "wanted it near to the railway line". In the churchyard is the grave of a man who was killed during the making of the railway 'by a fall of earth in Sydenhams Mead'. Time taken 2.50 pm BST (British Summer Time).
