43143 Norton Junction 22 May 1994

The driver of 43143 has just surrendered the Evesham to Norton single line token to the signalman at Norton Junction on 22 May 1994, whilst working the 1B36 15:43 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill InterCity service. Just behind me, the late running 1A70 16:35 Worcester Shrub Hill to Paddington train was waiting to access the single line. Note the plethora of speed restriction signs. 90mph for the Cotswold Line, 50mph for the curve to Abbotswood Junction, 30mph for the actual junction, and 25mph coming off the Cotswold Line.
