Prior to electrification, there used to be an uninterrupted  view from the north side of the line at Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on summer evenings. With the recently reconstructed Denchworth Road Bridge in the background, and the newly installed relief lines freshly ballasted, 43017 heads west on 28 June 1994 with the 1B56 18:03 Paddington to Cheltenham Spa service.
