A family out for a Sunday stroll, crossing the threatened bridge on which I am standing get a toot from the driver of 43146 on 26 March 2017, as it passes Steventon with the 1L63 13:46 Cheltenham Spa to Paddington GWR service. The 'Building A Greater West' logo on the bodyside really ought to be changed to 'Very Slowly Building A Greater West', such is Network Rail's exceedingly slow progress with the beleaguered electfrication project. Now many years behind schedule, the infrastructure is gradually getting nearer - note the masts in the background. |
