HST set 253019 approaches Bath from the east with an unidentified down working. The picture is taken from an occupation bridge near Bathampton that is in the distance behind the trees. The Bathampton loop is seen on the left that has been shortened a little; it used to extend a further under the bridge on which I am standing with the points opposite the closed Bathampton West signal box. This loop is still in use today now being passed by class 800 IETs that have recently replaced the HSTs.
