After decades of shocking neglect by Network Rail and its predecessors, which saw the trackside bushes touching the trains, the lineside at Chilson was finally cleared of vegetation in 2020, although the view is still nowhere near as open as it was in the 1980s. 800002 passes by on 22 April 2021 with the 1W21 10:50 Paddington to Worcester Shrub Hill GWR service.
