January 2018 Appeal: The Great Western Electrification continues expanding towards the south-west making most of the GWML shots west of Ealing on the site currently out of date. Please send in your new images of the old locations with the overhead mast and wires in place so people can see how the locations have changed. Fairly high bridge. Views onto mains restricted by vegetation. The light is good from 0900 - until the sun crosses the line at around 1600. Then it becomes problematic. Relief lines good until 1600, excellent for the long Mendip stone trains that come down in the afternoon. Mains can be photographed after the sun crosses the line at 1600. Outside the summer months shadows can be a problem as the line to the west is in a deep tree-lined cutting. Fine location for video and if you are lucky you might even get the church clock ringing in the background!
