Update 725. 37611 & 37259 on The Enigmatic Logistician at Smethwick Galton Bridge, 12/01/13

Running over 2 hours late, the train is seen heading towards Birmingham. It was a really cold day & I found it difficult to hold the camera still, having been standing around for hours. The shot would’ve been better from the other platform but I couldn’t risk another train getting in the way. A friend of mine was over there and did get a clear shot, perhaps he is luckier than me.

A real mix of liveries on those coaches!

Update 724. Just a few “units”, 12/01/13

The Pathfinder tour was due through Smethwick, so I went to see it. These are the other photos I took – nothing exciting at all! No trains were running via the Lickey & the Birmingham to Hereford trains were diverted via Kidderminster and the spur at Smethwick to/from the New Street line.

A sight you don’t often see, a train from the Kidderminster line heading to New Street (170633)
