In the dying afternoon sunshine, 43193 passes Ashbury Crossing near Shrivenham leading the 1L65 13.55 Cardiff Central to Paddington express. I have deliberately taken the picture slightly off-centre to include the unusual tree standing somewhat isolated to the right. It appears to be a Scott's pine tree that was usually associated with the locations of GWR stations. But, as there was never a station here with Shrivenham's station located just behind the road bridge in the distance I am not sure why it is here?
