66571 passes Blagrove (near Swindon) on 14 May 2014 with the 4L31 09:03 Bristol to Felixstowe North freightliner. This is a location that I had been meaning to visit for some time. The recently created vantage point is an apparently pointless footbridge, that links a virtually unused footpath from Wroughton with West Swindon. The fact that this bridge has full disabled access ramps, when Network Rail will not provide such facilities when they rebuild the extremely well used footbridge over Hinksey Yard, Oxford, is a little ironic! |
