43165 Shrivenham (Ashbury Crossing) 4 February 2017

What a pity that this wasn't the other way round! 43165 Prince Michael of Kent approaches the site of Ashbury Crossing, Shrivenham, on 4 February 2017 with the 1C16 13:27 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads GWR service. The much more colourful 43185 Great Western can just be seen on the rear. Note the seemingly random installation of the overhead electfrication masts. To the right of the picture there is a line of masts towards Compton Beauchamp, then a gap, then the three masts seen on the right, a gap, the single mast on the left, another gap, and so on!
