43303 Bredon 14 September 2023

43303 passes Bredon in terrible light on 14 September 2023 with the 1E63 15:27 Plymouth to Leeds CrossCountry service. I went here to photograph 56096 on the diverted 6M51 14:40 Baglan Bay to Chirk Kronospan log train, but problems in the Cheltenham area saw all northbound trains severely delayed. By 19:00 it was getting so dark that I gave up, and went home. The 56 passed half an hour later, running 56 minutes late, and presumably in near darkness!
