I had been tracking the progress of the daily 13.00 Theale to Robeston empty oil tanker on Real Times Trains and was wondering where I could manage to get it in full sun with no masts. As it happened, there is no evidence but for two lone and distant masts of electrification here at Knighton between Swindon and the Challow loops. Also, the line is raised on an embankment ensuring that it catches all of the late afternoon winter sunshine. 60019 'Port of Grimsby and Immingham' leads the train sedately along the GWML with HST drivers behind no doubt cursing its slow progress. Notice my shadow to the bottom right hand corner.
