Speeding along the Evesham bypass Don't worry, we'll soon catch up with the police car again due to the traffic ahead.  The driving style undoubtedly had nothing to link it with a 2pm shift change at Worcester HQ.

Parting of the ways ahead The Evesham bypass nears Twyford roundabout at which point the A46 continues north while the A44 heads west to Worcester.  Note the dedicated "slip lane" signed for the A44.

Back onto the A44 at Twyford roundabout The dedicated "slip lane" for northbound traffic off the Evesham bypass is a neat touch.

A44 at the turning for Lenchwick A typical section of modern English bypass.  Long, smooth curves encourage a higher road speed, but make overtaking difficult due to restricted forward vision. Why not do the job properly and build a dual carriageway?

Evesham Vale Light Railway The guard is blowing her whistle and waving her flag to let the driver know that he is cleared for departure. This is a very pleasant 15" gauge railway and well worth the £2.20 return. The engine is a genuine steam engine and the whole ambience is very welcoming. The layout is such that you can get several very reasonable viewpoints in short order.
