Neatly posed under the bridge at Hednesford station are a matching pair of Park Royal twin car DMUs, later known as class 103s. The blind of the right hand one is for Brownhills and the (rear) blind of the other is Rugeley Trent Valley. The position of the guards compartment can be located by the mailbag which has been thrown out onto the platform. Hednesford station closed in 1965 but in 1989 it was re-opened. Once very much a freight and diversionary line it now sees a regular train service and is at present being electrified, this will fill the Walsall to Rugeley T.V. electrification gap.
