43016, GW 11.33 London Paddington-Exeter St. David s (1C81), Blatchbridge Junction Knowing that the majority of the HST on the down fast line at Blatchbridge Junction would be in the shade not only because of the trees but also as I have moved to the other side of the line putting the sun on the wrong side, I opted for a more creative photograph. I exposed and focussed on the signage at the foot crossing where I was standing thus putting the subject mildly out of focus. 43016 leads the 11.33 Paddington to Exeter St. David's at speed as it leaves the Frome cutoff to continue its journey westwards. The cutoff was opened in 1933 as part of a suite of measures introduced by the GWR to improve their West of England services that left Frome a little isolated on a branched loop.
