43022 Uffington 11 April 2017

43022 The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Diamond Anniversary 1956-2016 passes Uffington on 11 April 2017 with the 1A11 09:30 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington GWR service. This is the view from the newly opened footbridge situated a short distance to the west of the site of the old station. It replaces the footpath crossing, which can be seen in the foreground of this view. Although it's nice to see the building of a bridge, rather than just closing the crossing, it does show that the installation of the dedicated foot crossing, along with its gravel approach path was a waste of money. These were only installed a couple of years ago, after the crossing being nothing more than a sign either side of the line, presumably since the line opened!
