Class 119 DMU at Droitwich

6th July 1985

Class 119 Cross-Country set B590 (51087 + 59418 + 51058) was entering Droitwich Spa station with a Birmingham New Street (via Bromsgrove) to Hereford when I took this image on 6 July 1985. The main point of this viewpoint was to include the centre pivot lower quadrant signals in case they were replaced with colour lights in the near future. They weren't, and still are in use in 2024 unlike the trackwork leaving the former coal yard which has long been removed. Peter Tandy.
