43004 Natton 11 November 2023

43004 Caerphilly Castle accelerates away from Ashchurch station on 11 November 2023 with the 2T43 09:52 Worcester Foregate Street to Bristol Temple Meads GWR service. This is the view from the level crossing at Natton. Note the tree branch sticking out of the roof at the rear of the power car. Presumably this has been snagged from some overhanging tree somewhere on Network Rail's badly maintained network. I can think of a number of locations where the trains brush aside the vegetation!
