43176 accelerates away from Thingley Junction with the diverted 1L34 06:58 Swansea to Paddington First Great Western service on 6 November 2010. The train has already visited Swindon, from where it has retraced its steps back to Wootton Bassett, and is now heading for the Berks & Hants line via Melksham, its normal route between Swindon and Didcot being closed for engineering works. This single track line which normally sees very little traffic is almost worked to capacity during diversions such as this.
