FINSTOCK [Finstock Halt]
15th January 2004

An unstaffed halt on the Cotswold Line. Originally a two platform station, the line has been singled and only one platform remains. At some point in the late 80s or early 90s the single platform was moved to the opposite side of the track. The older pictures were taken nearly 10 years ago at a time when the station had just passed from Regional Railways Central to the Thames Train Operating Unit and closure notices for the station had been posted. The station eventually escaped closure. The later pictures were taken a few days after First Great Western Link took over the station. CRS code: FIN
