Interesting movie, I was there on that day, I remember the station being tidied in preparation. I was told they wanted to use a steam loco, but the one they had at that time was not suitable for the sharp curves.
Pity this closed. Would be a useful link today particular as it can take around 1 hour to travel from Abingdon to Oxford at peak times today given congestion on the roads.

Such a shame this is all gone. Only thing left is the BR style concrete pillar wire fences, all rusted and mashed, tracing the line footprint.
