Another day of chaos with many of the local stopping trains round the Dark Side being cancelled. Once again I had to catch a bus to Cradley Heath as trains weren’t always stopping at Old Hill. To add to the confusion, the northbound steel train was showing on RTT as still at Cheltenham, so I didn’t know if it was still running. Anyway, I did get to Stourbridge and at around the usual booked time heard the announcement “stand clear on platform 2”, so knew it was on the way. It had obviously been checked by signals as it crawled into view until the driver could see the signal wasn’t showing a red.
