Twentywell Lane at opposite side of cutting. Trees have grown profusely on the steep sides of the valley. Network Rail contractors were advancing into the woods with excavators and abseiling equipment to declare war on the vegetation. A finished section is visible in the distance. Needless to say, it's controversial with local residents. Sadly, such healthy vegetation overhanging a mainline railway isn't too healthy for train safety, so it has to go.
