180108 passes Hinksey Yard on 1 January 2013 with the 1P43 11:50 Moreton-in-Marsh to Paddington First Great Western service. As there was virtually no freight traffic booked, this well known footbridge did not have the usual group of railway photographers in attendance. However, there were plenty of people taking a New Year's Day walk, which was slightly surprising, as the footpath to South Hinksey village was partly flooded. I know this as I had parked in a flood in the village and walked through the watery landscape to get to the bridge! |
