47069 approaches Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 7 June 1980 with the 1B42 09:23 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill service. Even before the line was electrified, this view had completely changed, with no visible point of reference between the old and new views. Just two tracks here, and the old brick arched Denchworth bridge is still visible in the background. However, the biggest change is the land use either side of the line. In 1980 the field on the left was permanent pasture, and on the right arable (a hay crop in this instance). The position is reversed today, and in addition, a wood has been planted adjacent to the line on the left.
