Editing Cotswold Line (section)

====Charlbury to Moreton-in-Marsh====
The line is now heading south-west and the site of [[Ascot d'Oilly Castle]] is to the north-west as the train enters [[Ascott-under-Wychwood]]. Few trains call at {{rws|Ascott-under-Wychwood}} station, but there is a [[signal box]] controlling the [[level crossing]] and the [[Railroad switch|points]] that were formerly the end of the single track section from Wolvercot Junction. {{convert|1.2|mi}} beyond Ascott is {{rws|Shipton}} station which serves the villages of [[Shipton-under-Wychwood]], [[Milton-under-Wychwood]] and [[Fifield, Oxfordshire|Fifield]].

Still following the Evenlode, the line now turns north-west. There is another level crossing near [[Bruern Abbey]]. The next junction on the line was at {{rws|Kingham}} from where the [[Banbury and Cheltenham Direct Railway]] went west to [[Cheltenham Spa St. James railway station|Cheltenham]] via {{rws|Stow-on-the-Wold}} and east to {{rws|King's Sutton}} near {{rws|Banbury}}. [[Kingham]] village is north of the station. The village west of the station is [[Bledington]]. The Oxfordshire Way which has been close to the railway since Akeman Street now turns west to [[Bourton-on-the-Water]] but it is replaced by another long-distance footpath, the Diamond Way. Beyond Kingham, the line passes through the site of the former {{rws|Adlestrop}} railway station, closed in 1966. At Moreton-in-Marsh the line crosses the course of another major Roman road, the [[Fosse Way]] which linked ''[[Isca Dumnoniorum]]'' ([[Exeter]]) and ''[[Lindum Colonia]]'' ([[Lincoln, Lincolnshire|Lincoln]]). Moreton-in-Marsh was the headquarters of the railway spot-hire company [[Cotswold Rail]] until the company moved to Gloucester.
