Bottlesford Crossing
Bottlesford Foot Crossing, east of Woodborough, isn't the most exciting location but at least it was somewhere different to photograph yet another green 66. 66564 worked 6A18, the 09:18 Whatley Quarry to Oxford Banbury Road stone, up the gradient towards Manningford Bruce on 18 March 2025. The change of gradient, from level to 1 in 255 can be seen where the line passes under the Woodborough Road bridge in the distance
