Pollarded Willow
Someone's set about this poor old tree beside the Langford Brook.
New housing in the background just raised up slightly, so any flood water spreads out over the football pitch.

Pond near Langford Village
This pond is in an area of linear parkland between extensive recent housing developments. The park is there mainly because of the Langford Brook which flows the other side of the cycleway in this pic.
Normally a small stream, it can be prone to extensive flash flooding so housing has been kept away from a considerable area of flood plain on both sides.
There are a number of small ponds around this area. The Environment Agency has done a lot of work on the stream to improve its drainage capabilities while retaining a natural looking course, which is why the cycleway meanders a bit as it follows it along.

Pond in Langford Village
The developers of the new housing in Langford Village have wisely left a healthy sized flood corridor all along the Langford Brook which flows through the middle.
This has been landscaped into a pleasant linear park. This pond near the north end is one of several.

67003 with a short freight train for Bicester MOD Depot
Class 67 No. 67003 negotiates the new Gavray Junction, western end of the Bicester Chord line. As the line from Oxford to Bicester was still being rebuilt, freight trains for Bicester MOD Depot were routed via Aylesbury, Claydon Junction (where the trains reversed) and Bicester Town. At this time, Gavray Junction was still under construction, the track only recently having been laid, so movements off the old LNWR line from Bletchley and Claydon had to be taken at a very slow speed. As soon as the Bicester Chord was operational, these trains reverted to the route via Oxford. Subsequently the track between here and Bletchley was lifted to allow this section to be rebuilt to double track mainline standard for East West Railway which will run trains from Milton Keynes to Oxford and to London via Aylesbury.
