47808 catches the last of the sunshine, ahead of the dark clouds coming in from the west, as it passes through the remains of the disused Challow station on 20 January 1990 with the 1A32 09:06 Swansea to Paddington service. A Class 47 hauled train on this line was the exception at this time, so was the fact that it was booked non-stop from Newport to Reading, missing out the normal stops of Bristol Parkway, Swindon and Didcot.
