I SAW the following notice in a book recently, which may be of some interest:
November 16th 1861.
Grand opening of Witney Station.
WITNEY TO OXFORD.
Stopping at South Leigh, Cassington Halt and Eynsham. Witney to Oxford 35 mins.
This was 150 years ago and, thanks to the visionary Dr Beeching, isn’t possible now. I wonder if it would now be acceptable in this modern age?
