43193 Moreton-in-Marsh 15 August 2009

An unusual manoeuvre at Moreton-in-Marsh on 15 August 2009. During the month long possession of the line from here to Evesham in connection with redoubling the line, First Great Western services terminate at Moreton, which requires the HSTs to shunt from the down platform to the up platform. Here we see 43193 heading slowly back to the station 'wrong line' on the up line after performing this operation. Note the long disused siding and the four semaphore signals, soon to be swept away with the route's modernisation.
