taken 2 years ago, near to Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England

Abingdon railway station (site), Oxfordshire
Abingdon railway station (site), Oxfordshire
Opened in 1856 by the Abingdon Railway, later part of the Great Western Railway, this was the terminus of a short branch which left the Paddington-Oxford line south of Radley. The station closed to passengers in 1963 and completely in 1984.
View east from near the buffers along the single passenger platform, which would probably have run straight through the grey doors. The site is now mostly a supermarket, but Abbey Close in the foreground cuts across the site between the platform and the site of the station building (behind the camera position). No trace remains.
