43126 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 2 August 2015

Still looking immaculate, just five days after being released back into traffic in its striking 'Bristol 2015 European Green Capital' livery, 43126 passes Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 2 August 2015 with the 1B51 15:30 Paddington to Swansea First Great Western service. Although the lighting is rather head on, I particularly wanted to get a picture of this power car while it was still clean, as the largely white colour scheme will soon start to look less than pristine. Note that while the piles for the electrification masts have been fully driven into the ground on the south side of the line, those on the north side are still sticking up in the air to various degrees, and have been left untouched for nearly six months.
