I uploaded a similar image to this one a week ago. The ideal shot though is from the side, not head on, but the overgrowth made that shot impossible. This time though, armed with heavy duty secateurs and steps, I was lucky enough to get the ideal POV for the shot. Interestingly, there was no car at the signal box (the first time I have seen this) and all the signals except for the up goods starter were permanently set to clear. Details: 66301, with the diverted 4V38 “Tesco Express”, Daventry to Wentloog service, passes through the idyliic and still semaphored location of Pontrilas, a stone’s throw from the English-Welsh border in Herefordshire.
