Oxford station sign

Visiting a friend in Oxford gave me the opportunity to collect its station. The station building is modern:

Oxford station front

Inside the station building is bright:

Oxford concourse

A reminder of earlier days in the form of an old BR totem on the wall:

Entrance to the platforms is controlled by barriers:

Platform 1, on the station building side, looking north:

At the northern end of platform 1 is the bay platform 3:

Looking north from the end of platform 1. A steam train in the distance surprised me while I was taking this shot!

Looking south from the same point. Platform 1 is to our right, platform 3 immediately to our left, and an unnumbered platform (for parcels?) further to the left:

What looks like a luggage van sits forlornly to one side:

Oxford luggage van?

Platforms 1 and 2 are connected by a covered bridge. Although the murky glass blurred the shots a bit, the bridge did provide good views north:
