43138 Compton Beauchamp 13 May 2017

43138 passes underneath the old bridge at Compton Beauchamp in superb evening light on 13 May 2017 with the 1G60 18:15 Paddington to Cheltenham Spa GWR service. The arch on the left formerly played host to the up relief line, which ran between Shrivenham and Knighton Crossing. Although it looks like it was a completely sunny evening, there was in fact a large bank of cloud approaching from the west (as forecast), and it wouldn't be long before the lights went out.
