One of the numerous local enthusiasts who had positioned themselves

at Casey bridge just south of Basford Hall Junction told us that they manage to trim and strim the top of the embankment to the right in this image but that they cannot get to the lower slopes due to being in view of signalman in Basford Hall signal box just north of the bridge. By the end of the summer, the bank is fairly tall with various grasses that do spoil the view of trains on the down slow closest to it as seen here. 66517 approaches Basford Hall at an almost walking pace where it will terminate with the 4M81 08.01 from Felixstowe.
