43015 Churchill Heath 22 October 2018

Well worth the long walk across the fields from the car! 43015 passes Churchill Heath Wood on 22 October 2018 with the 1P31 12:09 Hereford to Paddington GWR service. Ever since the lineside vegetation was completely blitzed along good sections of the Cotswold Line during the summer of 2018, I have been waiting for a suitable cloud free day to photograph this train here. Although all the lineside undergrowth has been removed, and the location is more open than I can ever remember it, there is still a tall hedge on the left that would cause shadow problems for a later train.
