UNDERGROWTH.. OVERGROWTH WOMBLING FREE...

            Especially in the summer Malvern Wells is becoming a location to avoid with massive trees now very much taken hold. The trees to the right are also more intrusive and the loop semaphore is harder to locate. The only glimmer of hope is that there has been some recent clearance around the equipment boxes to the right though not adequate for a really decent shot, maybe come the autumn there may be some possibilities.
Dave G took this train from the other side of the track and amazingly got some sun on the side, I'd assumed that it would be in shadow, and no time to change plans as the sun only came out at the last minute after an hour of dull. 
97303 tnt with 97304 depart Malvern Wells loop 45 minutes early on 7-7-21. As all the West Midlands Train services were cancelled from around 5pm there was nothing to stop an early departure.
Replacement buses were provided though at present no clear explanation as to the reason. The assumption is that it is somehow connected with the England v Denmark match.
Certainly nothing to do with the line or units, possibly driver shortage but then don't bus drivers like football too? 

The working is the 1Q18 0333 Swansea to Derby R.T.C.(Network Rail) Test train.
