EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph captures Abingdon Station in Oxfordshire during the 1920s, a time of great change and progress. The image shows a Radley auto train, a unique and innovative mode of transportation, sitting quietly at the platform. Abingdon Station, which opened its doors in June 1856, was once a bustling hub of activity, with a timber train shed that protected passengers and their luggage from the elements. The arrival of the auto train, with its open-air carriages, represented a new era in travel. The train shed, a testament to the engineering prowess of the era, stands proudly in the background, its wooden beams and corrugated iron roof a familiar sight for generations of travelers. The station, which closed to passengers in September 1963 and to goods in 1984, played an important role in the history of transportation in Oxfordshire. This photograph offers a rare and evocative glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when the rhythm of the train was the heartbeat of the community. The Radley auto train, with its distinctive design and open-air carriages, was a popular mode of transportation during the interwar period. The train's ability to carry passengers and their vehicles together made it an essential link in the transport network, connecting towns and villages that were otherwise difficult to reach. This photograph, taken at Abingdon Station in the 1920s, is a reminder of the rich history of rail transport in Oxfordshire and the important role it played in shaping the region's social and economic landscape. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the railway and the sense of adventure and discovery that comes with each new journey.
