Blue HST on the Astrop curve
Forging uphill through amber signals on the approach to Banbury on Easter Monday. Just over an hour to sunset and shadows on both sides of the train are lengthening.
Note the absence of a guard's coach at this end, so the red doors go right up to the power car; a different perspective compared with the previous and following picture. First Great Western's 43134 is leading.
Reason for diversion: Easter weekend closure of Reading.
