43299 passes Brimscombe on 8 June 2021 with the 1Q15 06:48 Derby RTC to Landore (via Hereford and Swindon) Network Rail test train. Although one house is just visible through the trees, the abundant vegetation gives a false impression as to how rural this location is. The A419 Chalford to Stroud road, which is lined with houses, runs parallel with the railway here.
