220017 passes the abundant blackthorn blossom at Stoke Orchard on 6 May 2013 with the 1V55 12:07 Manchester Piccadilly to Exeter St Davids CrossCountry service. Because of the very cold weather earlier in the year, the blackthorn blossom was very late. By this date the hawthorn blossom should normally be out. They are the green bushes in this view.
