Colas Rail 70803 northbound through Oxford on 24 August 2023, Rep. No 6M50. Westbury (Wilts) to Bescot. The locomotive is virtually on top of the Botley road bridge which is soon to be demolished to make way for a five track bridge. Mind you if they find any more Victorian artefacts under it, it might not be as soon as they would like. It is now noticeable that much of the platform furniture on Platform 4 has been removed and JCB's were at work in various areas. How long before the platform buildings go?
