A newly painted class 43 HST power car leads the 13.00 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads past South Marston just to the east of Swindon. Despite appearances, I not trespassing but am at a foot crossing that is just a short distance from the busy A420 road. I suspect that this crossing, and the one a short distance behind me will be firmly closed with the forthcoming electrification in-line with Network Rail's current policy.
