The entrance to the former Bathampton station still has the gate wide open as if it is still in operation! There is also a cast GWR sign still standing next to the gate. Unbelievably, the gate is still there and in the same position today with the entrance road leading down to a couple of houses and some small storage units on the site of the old sidings. Unfortunately, the cast sign is no longer there and I suspect that the 1971/72 Mk. III Ford Cortina parked on Churchill Close is also long-gone; there is no record of it on the DVLA's site.
