Arriva X-Country services are traversing the Swindon to Gloucester line due to a blockade northwards out of Bristol TM up to Bristol Parkway. After BR removed two sets of tracks to save money, Network Rail are now restoring the route to four track operation in a big relaying project. Here is 221121 approaching Purton. This train is the 0628 ex-Penzance to Aberdeen, passing here at 1126. Not the most sunlit of days.
Location: Purton
Original line: Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway (Great Western Railway)
