The start of the half-term break and trains are running again for the week after the winter closure. It seemed a good excuse to get out for a couple of hours! Thought I was going to be bowled by the shunting move, but it worked out perfectly for me – most unusual! The shunter does take a long time to run past, about 2½ minutes – but you can always skip through it.

47712 at Droitwich in 2006, then 46443 at Bewdley in 2010. 66421 and 66423 at Old Hill in 2011, then D1015 at Jewellery Quarter in 2014. Finally a video of 60001 at Stourbridge Junction on the Round Oak empties in 2015. I have so many photos that were never uploaded in my galleries, where do they all come from?
