43158, GW 13.30 London Paddington-Bristol Temple Meads (1C16), Steppingstone Lane, Bourton SU234875 A smashing picture of 43158 passing Bourton at the far westerly extremity of Oxfordshire leading the 1C16 13.30 Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads. I am standing on a farm occupation bridge at the end of the delightfully named Steppingstone Lane that was more of a muddy track than a lane. Indeed, I made the error of driving down to the spot rather than parking the car and walking. I ended up getting the car stuck in the mud up to the axles only just managing to get it out as I had some tools in the boot that enabled me to lay a temporary track of stone and gravel to get me going. The underneath, wheel arches and sides of the poor Saab were absolutely caked in mud! The bridge in the background of this image marks the site of Shrivenham station (closed 07.11.64) with the clear land either side of the up and down lines being where the station loop lines ran.
