66538 Uffington 14 October 2015

66538 passes Uffington on 14 October 2015 with the 4L31 09:03 Bristol to Felixstowe North freightliner. This photo is taken from a public footpath crossing, which was closed by Network Rail in September 2013 for (according to a notice fixed to the fence) 21 days. In fact it remained closed for nearly two years. I thought that being very little used, it would be stopped up permanently, but instead of that, it has been reopened with the addition of a brand new boarded crossing. Previously you just walked across the ballast.
