50002 'Superb' thrashes up Savarnake Bank and is about to

breast the summit with an unidentified up working for Paddington. I visited this spot again in 2017 and very little could be seen as trees obliterated virtually everything apart from the trackbed itself. The track to the right is where the line that led to the bay platform of Savernake (Low Level) station used to be. The station itself, closed 18.04.66, was partially located directly under the bridge where I am standing. For such a rural location, there was also a Savernake (High Level) station, closed 15.09.61, on an avoiding line some 250 metres to my right such was the craziness of the politics of the Victorian and Edwardian railway companies.
