800008 emerges from the bushes, and crosses over the River Evenlode, as it approaches Whitehill on 28 January 2022 with the 1W02 11:50 Paddington to Hereford GWR service. Lower Westfield Farm hides amongst the trees, and the village of Combe can be seen on the hilltop in the background. This picture would normally have been a little bland, but as I knew that the rainbow stripe liveried unit was working this train, I thought that would make all the difference. After a morning of intermittent hazy sun, just before this was due the clouds totally disappeared, providing perfect illumination. This did not last, and within then minutes it was completely cloudy!
