43137 Shorthampton 12 May 2010

A brief burst of sunshine provides some backlighting for 43137 as it leads the 1W00 08:22 Paddington to Hereford First Great Western service past Shorthampton on 12 May 2010. Recently cleared of vegetation in preparation for the reinstatement of double track, the bushes are already growing on the cutting side in the foreground, and it won't be long before this location reverts to its former overgrown state, which will mean this viewpoint will disappear once again.
