50038 ‘Formidable’ sweeps around a curve on the Westbury cut-off at speed with the 1B66 11.30 Paddington to Penzance, the down ‘Cornish Riviera’. The picture is taken from a footpath that crosses the line on a bridge that also carries the Portsmouth line up towards Dilton Marsh. In the background the famous Westbury White Horse can also be seen with a row of dead elm trees in the field in the foreground, victims of Dutch elm disease.
