We headed to Arley for a walk alongside the river to see the 11.15 but as we parked the car a train was heard in the distance, going by the whistle it was 46443 on Footplate Experience. It wasn’t long before we heard the other train, the first from Kidderminster, which was worked by 42968 and due away at 11.15.

There was plenty of time before the next two trains were due, as we ambled up to the station. 7812 was on the next from Kidderminster and 5164 from Bridgnorth. At this time of year when trains aren’t so frequent, we don’t hang around and head off home.
