800022 accelerates away from Stroud station on 9 October 2021, with the 1G17 13:30 Paddington to Cheltenham Spa GWR service. The houses of Stroud can be seen scattered across the hillside in the background. The building on the left is the former Beards Lane crossing keeper's cottage. Both the Beards Lane and the nearby Downfield crossing were closed when the footbridge from which this picture was taken was installed. Gannicox footpath crossing in the background remains open.
