43145 passes through the pastoral Wiltshire landscape near Rodbourne on 6 August 1992 with the 1B50 17:30 Paddington to Milford Haven service. Although Rodbourne village is fairly close to the line, the Great Western Railway did not see fit to provide it with a station when the 'Badminton cut off' line was opened in 1903. Being only a small village didn't usually prevent a station being provided in those days! |
