43304 passes Ashchurch on 17 November 2017 with the 1V44 06:00 Leeds to Plymouth CrossCountry service. Note the ex pheasant hitching a ride on the front bogie! Although this was a completely sunny day, I hadn't realised the significance of the cloud visible in the background, until I spoke to a friend in the evening. Apparently a little further north it was cloudy on and off through much of the day. This view has been improved by the removal of a lineside tree, which slightly got in the way when I took a picture of this same power car here a year earlier. |
