166218 Shorthampton 10 September 2009

166218 passes Shorthampton with the late running 1P25 09:55 Great Malvern to Paddington First Great Western service on 10 September 2009. The delay was caused by the 09:21 Paddington to Worcester Foregate Street being 25 minutes late, and consequently this train had to wait at Ascott-under-Wychwood. The soon to be reinstated double track will help ease such delays. Note the new rails in front of the unit, presumably added during the recent slewing of the formally centered single track.
