The lush green Wiltshire vegetation has really taken over at this location near Bradford-on-Avon as made clear in this view at a foot crossing that leads down to the town’s Barton Farm country park. 43161 leads the diverted 11.12 Paddington to Cheltenham First Great Western service away from the town to continue its diverted journey along the delightful Avon Valley to Bathampton Junction. Here it will head west along the Great Western mainline to North Somerset Junction where it will then head northwards taking the Midland route to its destination.
