43168 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 16 April 2015

The dark clouds in the background are emphasised by a brief spell of spring sunshine at Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 16 April 2015. The driver of 43168 washes his windscreen, as he speeds westwards with the 1B42 14:15 Paddington to Cardiff Central First Great Western service, while the 1L65 1355 Cardiff Central to Paddington recedes into the distance. Note the two rabbits in the field in the foreground, who have obviously become completely accustomed to HSTs passing by at regular intervals!
