Prior to the reinstallation of double track on the Moreton-in-Marsh to Evesham section of the Cotswold Line, the cutting at Aldington was cleared of all vegetation. This temporarily opened up new viewpoints, until it all started to grow back again. However, this picture shows just how dense the vegetation was prior to the work. The red apples are mostly tantalisingly just out of reach, but make an interesting foreground to this view of 180101, as it speeds through the cutting with the 09:52 Paddington to Great Malvern Great Western service on 18 September 2006. |
