Made it to Bewdley by bus today, the plan was not to use a train – but that failed when the 240 did not run and I had to catch a train to Stourbridge, then the “dodger” down to the Town station. The new Whittle bus service from Stourbridge took me to Kidderminster, then another bus to Bewdley followed by a walk to the railway station. It’s much easier by train!

My train for Kidderminster arrived behind 7812, just as 5764 arrived at the other platform. I was back just in time to catch the last Whittle bus to Stourbridge, which left Kidderminster at 2.45. What an experience!
