In the 1990s I was on the BR bridge department based in Reading. We used to check the remaining BR owned property. We must have been some of the last BR staff to work on the line. Great video!
Another great video! The bridge identity that's still just about visible on the River Cherwell would have read BBG rather than BRG. It would have either had the number 23 underneath or the mileage (7m 47ch). Well done for making it up there. I did just that myself a few years ago before the vegetation took over.
Living as I do in Eydon, I am greatly looking forward to seeing your further videos of this route as you post them. I have walked about as much of this route as is possible (some with permission of local farmers and land-owners). Thank you!
Most informative video. Shame most of it’s gone now. Eydon Road halt is actually on the edge of Culworth village which would have served the locals more as it’s in walking distance, compared with Culworth GCR station which was much further away.
Great video as always
