The winter sun has not quite come round enough on this lovely winter's day so as to illuminate the front end of 43149 'University of Plymouth' but it does help create quite a striking image. The HST is working the 10.00 Paddington to Paignton that is routed via Bristol rather than the expected Berks. and Hants. line. It's sobering to consider that views of the GWML such as this one, at the site of the former Knighton level crossing, will be transformed over the coming two years as the electrification masts and wiring arrive.
