43130 Chilson 6 May 2011

43130 passes Chilson on 6 May 2011 with the 1W47 15:51 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill First Great Western service. The telephoto lens has certainly accentuated the wobbly new track on the left, which is part of the Cotswold Line redoubling programme. Obviously there is still much work to do, including tamping and final alignment. Other signs of work include the sheeted over equipment on the trackside and Ascott-under-Wychwood's newly installed down distant signal, which can just be seen in the distance.
