A week after the longest day, and the late evening sun has swung right round to the north side of the line at Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 28 June 1991. The warm low lighting highlights the Network SouthEast / InterCity combination of 47705 on the 1C77 19:45 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads service. The original brick Denchworth Bridge can be seen in the background, with Didcot Power Station steaming away on the horizon. Although nothing like as extensive as what was to come later, the sprawl of Grove's housing estates can be seen in the distance on the right. |
