The railway came to Oxfordshire during the 1840s, the core of the
present-day local railway network being completed by 1853. Other
lines were subsequently constructed and, despite some branch line
closures during the 1960s, these Victorian railways are still
serving the public during the first decades of the twenty-first
century. Their longevity is a tribute to the energy and vision of
the nineteenth-century entrepreneurs who brought the railway system
into existence over 160 years ago. This new study of Oxfordshire's
railways examines the county's railways on a line-by-line basis,
starting with the Great Western main line, which reached
Oxfordshire in 1840. Sixty-eight stations have been included, the
opening dates being given for each location. This interesting
collection of images will appeal to railway enthusiasts, local
historians and those with an interest in the history of
Oxfordshire.
