It had been a lovely sunny day, but this train ran much later than usual and by the time it reached Old Hill the light was very poor, to say the least. Even set at ISO1600 my camera does not take good photos in dull conditions, but at least I saw the train. As usually happens with this working, a DMU from Birmingham was due to run into the station and would block my view and I hesitated up on the footbridge – stay here or go back down on the platform. I had originally been waiting at the end of the platform where it was lighter, but was worried my view would be blocked by the DMU.
