The morning mist never did clear on the 23rd October 1982 although the sun produced a brightness to the countryside. M55004 glides into the mist at Claverdon station with the 13.14 Leamington Spa to Stratford-upon-Avon train. The station is in a parlous state, the ballast bearing the sleeper imprints of the missing line, the vacant platform still having the gas lamp standards intact. The quaint platform building, built in the same style as the road level booking office, has been locked for years but the solid GWR wooden bench from within has been dragged outside. Today the station is still in use, the building has gone, replaced by a bus shelter, lighting has improved and an electronic display provides information on the sparse service. The station has no car parking and is situated in a affluent village therefore passenger numbers are low. Geoff Dowling.
A Gloucester RCW single car unit drifts into Fladbury Station with a train from Oxford to Worcester Shrub Hill, the single car unit is coupled to one of the unpowered driving trailers designed to work with the W55xxx units. There are no passengers waiting for this train (unless Peter got on) but on the opposite platform a chap with a kit bag sits in the sun and another gent is standing at the picket gate. The main station building and small yard is on Peter's platform, the other side has a very solid looking brick built waiting room. The class 122 is passing under Station Road bridge, today stand on the bridge and look, no station exists, it closed in 1966 and has been completely demolished. Under the bridge is a signal which is off, but the train is clearly being driven and is approaching, had this been the tail there would have been an oil lamp. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith, undated but Circa 1963. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
With the Pennine Hills in the background a class 104 DMU is making its way towards Burnley Central station, circa early 1980s. Geoff Dowling.
This is Windmill End Halt on what was known as "The Bumble Hole** Line" actually part of the Old Hill to Dudley branch, the GRCW single car is working from Dudley towards Old Hill. The almost rusted away corrugated iron buildings were new as part of the 1957 rebuild, the shelter was replaced with a concrete bus shelter in the early 1960's and the line closed shortly afterwards 15/06/1964. The chimneys to the right were those of the Royal Doulton pipe works (recently demolished and now being built on), in the foreground is a hint of canal, this is the Dudley number 2 canal towards Halesowen, it originally continued to Selly Oak in Birmingham. The abutment in the picture is the demolished railway bridge over this canal, within a 100 yards the railway crossed the Netherton arm of the Dudley canal on a second bridge near the mouth of Netherton Tunnel. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
