43098 Charlbury 9 June 2008

43098 arrives at Charlbury station with the 1W47 15:51 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill First Great Western service on 9 June 2008, with 43016 on the rear. This fine uninterrupted view of the station could possibly be lost if the plans for reinstating the double track on this section of the Cotswold Line go ahead. Presumably a second platform would be constructed with a footbridge, which although obviously a good thing as far as passengers are concerned, will make photography from this spot more difficult.
