A 47 hauled train through Bromsgrove & 6233 working from Ilford via Tyseley to the north were tempting, but unfortunately the weather didn’t help, and I couldn’t really be bothered. Sounds bad, doesn’t it!

Update 151. 37609 & 37610 on 6M67 Bridgwater to Crewe at Old Hill on 02/07/09
The elusive train! Every week I check the e-groups for any sightings of this train, just in case it will run round the “Dark Side”, but more often than not it runs via Bromsgrove. Today was different, it was noted as passing Norton Junction, so was routed via Worcester. I raced off up the station, as it was about an hour ahead of schedule. Unfortunately it stayed at Worcester until the booked departure time, so I had a boring hour waiting for it. Never mind!
