43171 leads the 12.00 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads past the site of Shrivenham station that is just behind the bridge on which I am standing. This bridge is a new replacement that has only recently opened and intended to give more height in order to accommodate the electrification wires that will be installed sometime in the future! The fenced off area to the right has just been vacated by the contractors who constructed the bridge.
