43194 Farleaze 28 January 2016

Passing what seems to be the permanently flooded field at Farleaze, 43194 leads the 1L48 09:28 Swansea to Paddington GWR service towards Hullavington on 28 January 2016. In the background is a recently replaced bridge on the Fosse Way, which at this point is little more than a minor road. Typical of a lot of the new bridges on the Great Western Mainline, it seems to have been deliberately designed to be as intrusive in the landscape as possible - a huge white eyesore that can be seen for miles!
