One of my favourite spots on the GWML is an occupation bridge that carries a small track and a footpath over the line near the village of Bourton just east of Swindon. However, this spot will soon be spoilt somewhat by the electrification masts the footings of which can be seen next to the leading power car. 43165 'Prince Michael of Kent' and 43137 power the 12.55 1L60 Cardiff Central to Paddington past this lovely spot; I wonder if I will return again?
