800010 Paddington Bear passes Chalford on 4 July 2022 with the late running 1L70 09:59 Cheltenham Spa to Paddington GWR service. This picture clearly demonstrated just how bad the vegetation has got at this location. As Network Rail no longer regularly maintain the lineside, the bushes are now touching the side of the train. Also, note how the greenery is covering all but the tops of the rails on the left. In the days of the real GWR (the railway company, rather than the 'brand' of one of the present day franchise operators) this kind of negligence would have been totally unthinkable!
