43047 (or W43047 as it was then) passes Baulking on 21 June 1980 with the 1A01 08:45 Swansea to Paddington InterCity service. Apart from the large tree on the left, near the site of Uffington station, virtually the only vegetation on the cutting sides at this time was grass. How different it looks now after over three decades of neglect. Note the numerous small landslips in the background. |
