View eastward, towards Oxford: ex-GW Oxford - Fairford branch. The 12.44 from Oxford, headed by '7400' class 0-6-0PT No. 7412 (built 12/36), which is taking water while the driver exchanges the single-line tablet with the porter-signalman, has a sizeable family with pram as passengers. The service was withdrawn soon after on 18/6/62, but goods continued to come from Oxford as far as Witney until 2/11/70.
