43145 Ascott-under-Wychwood 25 July 2012

43145 speeds past Ascott-under-Wychwood signal box on 25 July 2012 with the 1P21 05:35 Hereford to Paddington First Great Western service. Until 2011 this train would have been weaving across to join the line directly in front of the box, as it was single track from here all the way to Wolvercote Junction. The single track now commences near Charlbury station. The track appears to have a slight cant to the right, and the signal box has a definite lean to the left. This is enough to make the sliding windows have a habit of shutting themselves!
