A picture that graphically illustrates Network Rail's lack of lineside maintenance. 802101 brushes past the willow trees at Wolvercote, as it heads towards the junction for the Cotswold Line on 17 August 2023 (the green signal with feathers can just be seen in the background). The train is the late running 1W02 11:52 Paddington to Hereford GWR service. This was terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill, apparently due to a problem with the unit's brakes. At least that can't have been caused by hitting the lineside vegetation!
