20118 & 20132 Grove 11 May 2020

20118 Saltburn-by-the-Sea & 20132 Barrow Hill pass Grove on 11 May 2020 with the 5Q76 07:36 Ely Papworth Sidings to Newport Docks (Sims Group), conveying another rake of off lease GWR HST coaches for scrap. This is the first time that I have taken a picture from this particular vantage point. In the background is the new Hanney Bridge, which replaced the original bridge just before the line was electrified. In the old days there used to be good view from the bridge looking west. Because of the wires there is now no clear view in any direction, which, even before I checked it out is what I expected, and why I chose this viewpoint from the adjacent field.
