43040 Bristol St. Philip's Marsh is in immaculate condition, as is the rest of its train, as it passes Denchworth on 8 September 2014 with the 1C17 14:00 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads First Great Western service. This is approximately the half way point of this four track section of the Great Western Mainline. The relief lines extend from Wantage Road (just out of sight around the corner in the distance) to Challow. They were reinstated in the 1990s. |
