On 3 December 2008 nearly new 66596 approaches the site of Ashbury Crossing at Shrivenham with the 4V60 10:55 Calvert to Bristol Avon binliner. On this occasion the footbridge was packed with photographers, most of whom were admittedly waiting for the steam hauled special, but it does seem a little ironic that I hardly ever met anyone else at this location when photographing the much more interesting variety of traction in the 1980s! |
