Good choice of location, I had wondered if that part of the line was worth heading for.
Isn't there a farm cross somewhere near Claverton Pumping Station? Or am I imagining things?

As you are probably aware the above shots are from the A4 opposite Kelston House.

Yes there is a crossing next to Claverton Pumping Station. There's a reasonable view looking south from the crossing which would probably be ok for both coming towards and going away type shots. You just need to be about 10ft tall!!
The crossing itself and looking towards the pumping station.
I was initially going to try and photo 34067 at this location below (which is just before Claverton Pumping Station), but I thought that the crosswind might blow steam/smoke over the loco/coaches so opted for Kelston instead as I thought (wrongly) that the wind would be more head on.
There are also reasonable shots from both the aquaducts.

Thanks for taking trouble to post the images. I would have had time to get over to Claverton on Thursday - wasn't quite so sure about Avoncliffe given the diversions on the A36. It looks as if it was a missed opportunity.
