The Causeway level crossing at Steventon was struck by a lorry just before midday on 15 May 2018, causing severe delay to trains, which were being held at a red signal, and then slowly hand signalled over the crossing. There was no need to use a fast shutter speed, as the trains were now travelling so slowly, so I was able to stop the lens down to f16, to provide sufficient depth of field to include all of this abundant patch of cow parsley in sharp focus. 43029 approaches the incident with the 1L50 10:36 Cheltenham Spa to Paddington GWR service. |
