67005, return leg of VSOE excursion, 15.55 Bath Spa-London Victoria (1ZXX), Avoncliff station
With it being a week off the shortest day and
just past 16.00 the light is fading fast! Pushing the camera to its limits and with judicious use of Photoshop has captured 67005 'Queen's Messenger' passing Avoncliff station leading the returning 15.55 Bath to Victoria VSOE excursion. Passengers have enjoyed a day in the fine Georgian city with its huge Christmas market in full swing. The photograph is taken from Avoncliff's impressive aqueduct that carries the Kennet and Avon canal over the railway and the river.
