All week it has been Dark Side chaos with trains from Old Hill cancelled. Although Live Departure Boards showed the 09.37 as running on time, when I reached the station it was showing as cancelled. The guy in the ticket office could say nothing! I knew the 09.42 was cancelled but had hoped to get to Rowley to catch another train to Stourbridge. No train up or down, so mad rush to a bus stop to catch a bus to Cradley. I did get to Stourbridge in time to see the freights, with a Class 37 on a Crewe to Swindon light engine working. Also seen was the leafbuster or “squirts” as I call it – DR98959 & DR98909.
