The train could be going either to Bristol or South Wales. The lines to those destinations diverge about 500 metres further on. It is travelling quite slowly as it seems it had been halted for a while. It is on the 'down' line i.e. leading away from London. Any such line is so designated regardless of compass bearing. The train can also be seen here Image Note. This image has a detailed ‘shared description’ which you won’t see by viewing this image on a slideshow. To read it click on the image.
