Not a lot to go on.
I'll take a wild stab at Flax Bourton.

Are you talking about GWR▸ trains again ? Edit note: Quote marks fixed, for clarity. CfN. |

It's not Flax Bourton. The track alignment and foliage is all wrong.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Where was I on Friday? Standing on a rail overbridge looking down on a double track railway line currently not being electrified but within GWR▸ territory possibly the Golden Valley line between Stroud and Kemble. |

It is GWR▸ but not Flax Bourton or the Stroud Valleys Line. It is actually a rather well known place. Imagine a hot June day, weeds on a platform, a blackbird singing ...

Yes, it's Adlestrop. The old station building is just off to the left behind the trees. I think it was double tracked a couple of years ago, wasn't it?

Moreton-in-Marsh to Ascott-under-Wychwood was not singled back in 1971 when most of the Wolvercot Jcn - Norton Jcn line suffered that fate. So not recently re-doubled, no. Amazing to find that the re-doubled bit between Moreton-in-Marsh and Evesham happened in 2011 - already seven years ago. |

Here's another. Yesterday I was near a defunct railway bridge, also in GWR▸ territory, a branch from a line that still operates:  |

Nowhere near there that far east, I'm afraid.
