43142 Compton Beauchamp 22 August 2011

The fog is only just beginning to clear at Compton Beauchamp on 22 August 2011, as 43142 Reading Panel Signal Box 1965 - 2010 passes by with the 1L24 06:28 Swansea to Paddington First Great Western service. The footbridge at Ashbury Crossing, which is normally visible in the background of this view is still hidden in the gloom. It is good to know that in these days of high tech innovations, nothing beats stuffing newspapers underneath the sun visors when driving into the low early morning sun!
