Location-Verney Junction

We have decided to change our location for our railway track scene. I have found a location that is very suitable, and although it is slightly further than the one we had originally decided to use, it is non-operational and therefore we can have unlimited access to it at any time. The location is Verney Junction.


It will take about 50 minutes to drive to this location, which is slightly longer than if we were to drive to Chinnor. If we go there for the day, it will be worth while.

According to Track Maps, this section of line is non-operational between the Stop Block Gates, as can be seen here:



 Verney Junction is around where the red dot close to 'Claydon (ACOL)' is on the map. 

The location is perfect, and from these pictures taken from Disused Stations shows how the line is overgrown and in a dilapidated state:





This scene is, to some degree, a post-apocalyptic one. This fits in very well with the treatment of our film, and the run-down and abandoned feel to this location will work well with the way we want our antagonist to act.
