43130 leads the 1C20 08:45 Paddington to Cardiff Central past Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 21 August 1979. A visitor to this location today would not recognise this view, as virtually everything has changed. There are now four tracks, the PW hut has gone, and the bridge in the background has been replaced. The profusion of dead elm trees, the result of Dutch Elm disease, have also long gone. A new plantation of trees has now taken the place of the pasture on the left. On top of all this, the line has now been electrified. |
