43022 Compton Beauchamp 25 June 1996

High summer on the Great Western Mainline at Compton Beauchamp. 43022 speeds westwards on 25 June 1996 with the 1B56 18:03 Paddington to Cheltenham service. During mid summer the sun has travelled round so far by the late evening that it is possible to take perfectly lit pictures of trains from the north side of the line at this point.
