253008, unidentified up working, Sydney Gardens A short distance east of Bath station is the superb Sydney Gardens, The GWML passes through the gardens in close proximity to the general public and the beautifully manicured lawns! Here, HST set 253008 (43016 and 43017) passes through the gardens with an unidentified up working for Paddington. During the planning of the GWML electrification programme, the issue of how to wire the section of line through Sydney Gardens caused a huge debate with suggestions that this should be a neutral section of the line free from wiring. In the end, the problem was solved by the decision to terminate the wiring at Thingley Junction some ten miles east of here but not before expensive preparations had been completed including the lowering of the track.
