With a toot from the driver, 43069 passes Compton Beauchamp on 5 July 2017 with the 1C24 17:30 Paddington to Taunton GWR service. With masts only on the south side of the line, it initially appears that this view will still be just about acceptable for photography after the wires go up. However, out of sight in the immediate foreground is the base for a mast on the north side of the line, heralding a huge gantry that will completely block the view!
