50007 Hercules (masquerading on this side as 50014 Warspite) passes Bourton on 22 January 2020 with the 5Z50 11:03 Wembley InterCity Depot to Laira ECS, conveying former ScotRail Caledonian Sleeper coaches 10551, 10553 & 10706. 50049 Defiance is bringing up the rear. In really dull weather such as this, I try to use locations that would be impossible if the sun was out. As the overhead masts just to the east of the roadbridge at Bourton are only on the south side of the line, I thought there out to be a shot from the north side of the line. Unfortunately I had forgotten just how close the domestic electricity poles on the left were, consequently a really wide view is not possible. |
