43285 speeds past Standish Junction with the 1V23 06:32 York to Plymouth Cross Country service on 16 March 2009. The track diverging in the foreground is the 'Golden Valley' route to Swindon. This photo is taken from a public footpath crossing. The wide open area here is a legacy from the days when this section of line boasted four tracks, with the GWR and LMS double lines running side by side from Standish to Gloucester.
