Still wearing its First Great Western livery some months after the company ceased to operate one of the small numbers of trains that run to and from Banbury using two-car Turbo units is seen approaching King's Sutton. The services operate an all-station service between Banbury and Oxford running every two hours or so. 165125 is working the 09.08 Banbury to Oxford train seen from a former farmer's crossing point on the floodplains of the River Cherwell. Interesting fact time......King's Sutton is the only station that Great Western Railway (the new TOC from September this year) serves in Northamptonshire if only by a matter of a few metres with the county boundary running just west of the down platform.
