This, incredibly, is the station at Stockcross and Bagnor, reduced to a halt in 1934.

Sometimes exploring old railways can be likened to a jungle expedition. This is south of Stockross.

The A34 Newbury Bypass was built long after the line closed and cuts through the trackbed near Speen. (Corrected thanks to Laurie Webb)

Little remains of the line between Speen and Newbury. This is a bridge over a minor lane south of Speen.

The old A4 west of Newbury has long been bypassed by a more modern road. This is the bridge under the original A4 road. On the far side the track bed has been taken over for housing.

The line of bricks marks the end of the Lambourn bay at Newbury station, now filled in.
