The driver of 43144 gives a couple of extra blasts on the horn, as he spots me on the bridge at Shipton on 21 February 2018. The train is the 1W01 10:22 Paddington to Hereford GWR service. The tree stumps on the cutting side give ample evidence of recent extensive vegetation clearance, which has opened up this view nicely. Unfortunately a tree near the road on the right has been left, so there is still no possibility of a picture from the south side of the line if the sun is out.
