43012 passes Baulking on 29 September 1984 with the 1C58 15:35 Paddington to Weston-super-Mare service. It's amazing just how open this location was in the mid 1980s, as even before electrification of the route ruined this viewpoint, it had become overgrown, with bushes and trees hiding Didcot Power Station, which can clearly be seen the distance here. This is also before Baulking Lane was diverted to run through the field directly behind the railway fence. This was to allow for the expansion of Baulking Quarry, which until it closed in 2002, was one of the last operational Fuller's Earth quarries in the UK.
