43017 Chilson 7 August 2015

A Cotswold Line First Great Western meeting on the sunny morning of 7 August 2015. 43017 Hannahs discoverhannahs.org leads the 1P26 06:42 Hereford to Paddington past Chilson, while 180108 with the 1W12 06:52 Paddington to Great Malvern disappears into the distance. This location was single track from 1971 until 2011, with up trains often having to be held at Ascott-under-Wychwood (behind the trees in the background), waiting for a late running down train to clear the long single track section from Wolvercote Junction.
