The bridge on which I am standing is a farm occupation bridge that carries Steppingstone Lane near the west Oxfordshire village of Bourton. This is a delightful spot that I could have spent hours at that afforded unobscured views of the GWML in both directions. Unfortunately, this will soon be ruined forever as the electrification masts and wiring arrive. 43124 leads the 12.28 Swansea to Paddington past the spot with the low winter sun creating some long shadows.
