Oxford LMS station

Dr Carl Chinn and the Dome team weren't able to investigate the Oxford LMS station because the eviction of eco-warriors was in progress.

The Oxford LMS station opened on 1 May 1851 and the first excursion was a trip to the Crystal Palace -- the similarity in design and construction was deliberate.

The Oxford LMS station, designed by Joseph Paxton and built by Fox and Henderson, used similar iron and glass prefabricated components to those used in the Crystal Palace.
