43185 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 1 October 1996

43185 Great Western approaches Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 1 October 1996 with the 1C34 12:15 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads Great Western Trains service. At the other end of the immaculate train is 43183. This was only the second passenger working for this newly painted set, the first being the 1A27 05:15 Penzance to Paddington 'Golden Hind', earlier that morning. Great Western Trains had unveiled their stylish new livery the previous day. For some unknown reason, this train was stopped at the signal by the roadbridge at Baulking. This allowed me to obtain a second picture of the pristine train passing the site of Uffington station.
