253008, 19.25 London Paddington-Plymouth & 253017, 16.23 Penzance-London Paddington, Hawkeridge East Junction Two HSTs in their 'as-built' liveries pass each other at Hawkeridge East Junction near Westbury. With Westbury cement works to the left and the down starter off the Hawkeridge chord in the foreground 253017 slows for its Westbury stop forming the 19.25 Paddington to Plymouth service. Meanwhile, 253017 accelerates away east with the 16.23 Penzance to Paddington. Despite our somewhat exposed position we did not encounter any problems with staff and officials, indeed, the signalman at Heywood Road a little after this photograph was taken did not mind us trackside taking photographs in the dying summer light.
