43159 Oddington 17 September 2017

Lengthening shadows (and approaching cloud!) at Oddington on 17 September 2017. 43159 heads south with the diverted 1B69 16:58 Paddington to Swansea GWR Service. Engineering works at Reading meant that HSTs for the West of England were traveling via the Chiltern Line as far as Bicester, and then heading to Didcot, via Oxford.
