Bampton and Brize Norton Railway station seen in the 1960s

Bampton and Brize Norton Railway station seen in the 1960s. Sadly the station and the Witney to Fairford line closed as part of the Beaching cuts in the early 1960s. Strictly speaking, the station is just outside Bampton and in Brize Norton and it was a good 40-minute walk from Bampton. Several Bampton people ran a taxi service, in the early days by horse and carriage.
