Having eased the empty MBA box wagon train north-west of the point where they were unloaded at Calvert it has come to a halt awaiting the shunter to do his work. He will operate the ground frame just out of sight allowing the train to cross onto the remains of the former GCR up line and then take a short chord on to the remains of the Oxford to Cambridge Varsity Line that crosses the GCR line which is today effectively a headshunt. Notice the remains of the black flyash in the MBA wagon that has been removed from the closed and now doomed Didcot power station.
