43277 Safety Task Force moves slowly away from a signal check at Didcot North Junction on 20 March 2024 with the 1Q18 07:48 Derby RTC to Bristol Kingsland Road Network Rail test train, just as 165118 heads in the opposite direction with the 2M32 12:35 Didcot Parkway to Banbury GWR service. As the HST (which had 43357 bringing up the rear) moved away from the signal, I could hear the Turbo unit approaching from behind me, and I thought the picture was going to be ruined. However, the two trains passed each other exactly where I was going to take the picture, giving me this lucky shot. |
