 Hi All,

Found this GWR buffer stop still lurking at Banbury Station. Bull head construction, located at the end of probably the only remaining section of GWR track in a disused part of the station. All the other GWR track has been removed. Note the wear on the lower piece of rail.

Nice one Nigel
