Great picture! Yes, I've been emailing with Ben Brooksbank, he's a wonderful chap with a wealth of pictures from Tewkesbury/Ashchurch. It was actually because of his lone picture of Malvern Hanley Road that I started my blog project, I wanted to find out more information about it!
Cheers, John. I've used BfA elsewhere on my site (there is a wonderful hi-res picture of Tewkesbury Junction that I bought for use on there). Thanks for the link, I enjoy incorporating those pictures into my work.
Yes, was a golden opportunity to film some more varied stuff than the usual FGW HSTs and London Midland stuff that flits through this way. If you check my site this weekend you'll see my full update of the works with photos, video, etc.

Foot crossings are for crossing only. You should never ever be stationary on one. Network Rail are slowly removing them all because they know how dangerous they are, even when used properly.
A foot crossing should not be used as an excuse to stand closer to the line when a train passes, even...

Hello all, just a quick video I made today showing how the abandoned GWR station at Malvern Wells is still in use as a turning point for trains terminating at Great Malvern. Enjoy!

Yes, I'll be doing some filming up there soon. The turning loop for services terminating at Great Malvern can sometimes create the impression that the Wells GWR station is still in use, which is neat.
I don't suppose you have any photos of the old Midland line on the common by any chance?
Hi LNW, glad you liked the video.
Did you live on St Andrew's Road? From what I've heard the railway filled in the cutting across the Common and sold the land to the adjacent houses there in the 70s. Some houses went for it and some didn't, so the whole thing has a bit of a higgeldy-piggeldy...
Hello again, a few more for you. Parts Three and Four have been made using my new camera, so be sure to crank the quality up to 1080p for the best experience.

Hi all, long-time lurker but first-time poster on this forum. I hope this is the right place for this message, maybe the admins can move it if not.
I'm currently running a blog on the old Malvern-Aschurch Midland/LMS branch line at www.malvernrailway.co.uk and have just completed a video...
