    It does look like it doesn't it. I think that this section, which is above the River Severn, has oil capture mats under the track, not too sure about the current status of this section, but this part of the station seems to be
    in a perpetual morphing state.

    Cheerz,

    I know it is all down to personal taste, but I feel you "won out" here with the route it took. Great image of an older style railway.

    But surely waiting around for hours getting soaked to skin for a few seconds of action is what its all about, singing in the rain helps
