43272 Evenlode 22 December 2022

43272 passes Evenlode on 22 December 2022 with the 1Q18 06:45 Bristol Kingsland Road to Derby RTC Network Rail test train. An extremely dull day, with intermittent rain, but ideal conditions for this particular location, as except for possibly around dawn on midsummer day, this spot would be hopelessly backlit if the sun was out. Also, the recent rebuilding of the road bridge coincided with the removal of lots of lineside bushes, opening up the view considerably.
