165101 Ruscombe 1 May 2013

Superb spring sunshine at Ruscombe on 1 May 2013. 165101 passes through the shallow cutting with the 1P19 09:01 Oxford to Paddington First Great Western service. This was my last visit to this well known location, as the Great Western Mainline electfrication programme effectively ruined it forever shortly afterwards, making return visits pointless.
