Interesting.
Is this now a kind of storage yard? I presume the whole circular track network is unused except the yard you video'd?

[@IAMGTM]

The site has a maintance workshop on it and the circular track network allows them to move stock around the site. There are not many movements on and off the site.

Thanks for the update! I looked up Motorail who operate the yard.
Fascinating layout of tracks, sort of like Arncott Wood and Gravenhill Wood near Bicester.
Can anyone tell me if the Armament Depots at Graveground Coppice and Marlborough Coppice near Temple Herdewick still have rail action? Again, similar track layouts there as well.

CPRail4744 Yes the site at MD Kineton which is the one I think you are refering to has a fairly regular service once a day.

[@CPRail4744]

Yes, that is the one! thanks for the info.
Gathering trainspotting data for my possible trip to the UK next year.

[@IAMGTM]

+Matt James Hi Matt, Long Marston is on the old Stratford upon Avon to Cheltenham Railway about 5 miles south of Stratford upon Avon. It is currently accessed from the Evesham to Oxford Railway at Honeybourne. Hope that helps.
