Britannia - Get out of my way, I'm coming through
On a quiet country station in the Oxfordshire rain, BR standard Class 7, 70000 Britannia, shouts angrily at everyone to get out of the way as it rushes through a wet Hanborough Station at 57 mph, hauling the 19/12/2012 Steam Dreams Victoria - Gloucester Cathedrals Express along the Cotswold Line. (the old platform where the line had two tracks can still be seen)
First tho we have a First Great Western 180 Adelante class, on the Paddington - Great Malvern service, where the driver has trouble stopping on his mark.
Oxford to Charlbury Section of the Cotswold Line
After departing Oxford station, the Cotswold Line shares track with the Cherwell Valley Line to Banbury. About 220 yards (200 m) north of the station, the line crosses the Sheepwash Channel which links the Castle Mill Stream and Oxford Canal with the River Thames. Immediately east of the current line is a swing bridge over the channel which used to carry the London and North Western Railway's Buckinghamshire Railway line to its terminus at Oxford Rewley Road railway station.[9] The swing bridge is a listed building. The Rewley Road station building has been dismantled and re-erected at Buckinghamshire Railway Centre. The built up area east of the railway, visible across the Oxford Canal, is Jericho, a district which originated as lodgings outside the city walls where travellers could rest if they arrived after the gates were locked. The Eagle Ironworks of William Lucy & Co. was near the first road bridge over the track on Walton Well Road.
After the bridge, the open area to the left is Port Meadow, a water meadow bordering the Thames with a Bronze Age round barrow. The former LNWR Buckinghamshire Railway branches away to the north east. Proposals exist for re-opening the whole line and are included in the Draft Milton Keynes & South Midlands Sub-Regional Strategy, but there are many planning and funding matters to be resolved.
The line passes through Wolvercote. To the west, Lower Wolvercote was a centre for paper making, mainly for the Oxford University Press from the 17th century until 1998 and is the site of Godstow abbey, a Benedictine convent founded in the 12th century. The line passes under the viaduct carrying the A34 Oxford Western Bypass and 100 yards (91 m) further under the A40 road linking London and Fishguard.
The line now turns west; here the former Buckinghamshire Junction Railway link with the Buckinghamshire Railway used to converge from the east. About 4 miles (6.4 km) after Oxford station, Yarnton station was in the short stretch between here and where the Witney Railway diverged to the south-west. So far, the line has been close to the River Thames but the river now swings away to the south through a landscape dotted with gravel pits. The line now climbs the valley of the River Evenlode repeatedly crossing and re-crossing the river. Hanborough station serves the villages of Long Hanborough, Church Hanborough, Freeland and Bladon. The Oxford Bus Museum is next to Hanborough station.
From Hanborough the line enters the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and 1 mile (1.6 km) beyond Hanborough is Combe station. Building the line through Combe was difficult with several deep cuttings, four crossings of the Evenlode, and the diversion of a length of the river. To the south, just after the third river crossing are the remains of North Leigh Roman Villa. About 1 mile (1.6 km) beyond the villa the line crosses the course of Akeman Street Roman road. The Oxfordshire Way long-distance footpath follows Akeman Street from the north east to a point about 0.6 miles (1 km) north of the railway before turning to run through Stonesfield and meet the line at Charlbury station. The next station is Finstock. Between Finstock and Charlbury the deer park to the west of the line is Cornbury Park, original venue for the Cornbury Music Festival, which has now been replaced by the Wilderness Festival. The woodlands south west of the park are the remains of Wychwood Forest named after the Hwicce, one of the Anglo-Saxon peoples of Britain. Charlbury station is the start of the redoubled track and is first stop for faster trains over the line and retains its original Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway clapperboard building. Sir Peter Parker lived nearby at Minster Lovell and was a regular user of Charlbury station while chairman of the British Railways Board (1976 to 1983). The patronage of the head of the organisation may have helped to save the line at a time when the Serpell Report was calling for more rail closures.

Return of a Champion - Western Wessexman - 07/09/13
D1015 Western Champion would be used on Pathfinder Tours' Western Wessexman tour, which ran from Leicester to Weymouth. The Western would take over at Bescot and would haul the outward leg via Cheltenham, Bath and Yeovil, with the return leg running via Southampton, Didcot and Banbury.
The Western is first captured roaring through Freshford, with the Western's horn echoing through the Limpley Stoke Valley. This shot was captured just 10 minutes after 60163 Tornado had passed through with the Cathedrals Express (see previous video), with both the A1 and Western passing each other around Claverton.
The second and final shot is from Brockenhurst, where the Western cruises past, as it slows for a signal check - following not long behind a Waterloo service.
I don't normally film Diesel charters, but I gave this one an exception, as this was being hauled by Western Champion - a loco that is quite rare in the South, plus I had never seen the Western before, so it was an added bonus.

D1015 'Western Champion' on 'The Western Wessex' @ Cholsey 07/09/2013
My first ever sighting and capture of a Class 52 Western Locomotive just couldn't have been better! Seen taking on the third leg of 'The Western Wessex' railtour from Weymouth to Bescot (before a DBS 67 took over for the final leg to Leicester), D1015 'Western Champion' absolutely guns it through Cholsey at full belt, as well as blasting a long and loud 3-tone horn (for probable entertainment, perhaps) before she passes Manor Farm Bridge, and at such a speed too!
Now I must say that this performance is quite impressive for such a vintage diesel-hydraulic powered locomotive, which has been the only type of locomotive to have ever been considered suitable for mainline usage to this day.
Enjoy! :)
