The blackthorn is in full bloom at Up Hatherley on 6 April 2009, as 43182 passes by with the 1G21 09:48 Paddington to Cheltenham First Great Western service. Although this train would spend the rest of the day working between Cheltenham and London, it had started the day in the West Country, working up from Cornwall as the 1A74 06:00 Plymouth to Paddington.
