Spent a couple of hours at the Museum & filmed the bus in operation. I know nothing about buses but a search tells me it’s a GEA174 Daimler CVG6 with Weymann bodywork. Other vehicles seen were B900TFO, MXX340 and 6342HA – brief details with photos.

Making the most of decent weather and some trains to see, another visit to Kidderminster. Filling in time with the unit, but always hoping the train from Bewdley would appear in the background as I was filming, but not this time.

What a lovely surprise, I walked to the station expecting to see the NMT on the test train, but it was top & tail 37s, just like the previous month. Didn’t get bowled either. 1Q15 Derby – Swansea.

It was dark, but 37s on a test train, not to be missed. 1Q16 Swansea – Derby. It was following close behind a stopping train, probably previous signals on amber so it was approaching slowly in case the Cradley signal was red. Once the driver got a clear view of the amber signal the 37s made a great noise as they accelerated through the station, only to shut off soon after passing through the station. Sounded great on the video!!

A trip to Kidderminster on Christmas Eve to film a couple of the Santa trains. As 43106 departed, I noticed D9551 at the other platform, would I see that in action as well???

As far as I know, this was the first real test run in the UK for this new class, Tyseley to Hereford and return. I was surprised it actually stopped at Cradley, but it enabled me to cross over to the other platform to get a better view of it, and I wasn’t bowled!!
