A quick visit to Arley to see the engineering work in progress at the station. Let’s hope the weather stays reasonably mild during the time the line is closed, as snow or freezing conditions would make the work much more difficult.
This is a general view, showing most of the track removed and work in progress on ome of the platforms:-
Some photos taken over 2 days. The first day was when I travelled on the train from Birmingham New Street to Birmingham International, the second day it is seen arriving at New Street. The loco-hauled set is used if a Pendolino is not available. Have to say it was nice to travel in an ordinary coach and not a “unit”.
The train is seen here being propelled away from Birmingham International:-
Finally uploaded some photos! No trains on the move but a good variety of stock at Bewdley. The view from the car park is very different now that the siding has been cleared, this is because the track needs relaying. Last Sunday new concrete sleepers were being moved into place, so it may not be long before the track is back in place.
There are only 3 SVR albums uploaded so far in January, the new ones being for the 6th & 15th, which can be found here:-
Concrete sleepers are being moved into position:-
