43172 Bicester South Junction 17 September 2017

43172 Harry Patch - The last survivor of the trenches brings up the rear of the diverted 1A14 10:05 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington GWR service, as it climbs the steeply graded chord between Gavray Junction and Bicester South Junction on 17 September 2017. Engineering work at Reading was the cause of this extremely unusual Chiltern Line HST activity.
