With Didcot Power Station in the background, contributing its 2,000 megawatts of power to the National Grid, 47310 approaches Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 18 December 1985 with the 6V11 10:03 Wolverton to Stoke Gifford ARC stone empties. There's not much left from this picture. The loco has gone (scrapped in 2004), the tree on the left, the PW hut, and the brick bridge in the background have all gone, and of course Didcot Power Station was closed in 2013. The only plus point is that this location is now a four track section of mainline. |
