802020 passes Chilson on 19 July 2022 with the 1P22 08:56 Great Malvern to Oxford GWR service. This train would normally continue on to Paddington, but a revised timetable was in operation due to the extreme heat. Later in the day the UK would record its highest ever temperature. Trains were travelling noticeably slower than usual because of the heat, and although this train was on time, most trains later in the day ran late, with several cancelled. Despite the heat, I went out especially for this, as I had previously managed to miss photographing it sun on several occasions. |
