“Gresley” conquers Old Hill bank

No banker, and no clear run through Cradley, but it went well through Old Hill with 11 on.

Hoping my photos turn out well, they’ll be sorted later.

Sorry about including the DMUs but that explains the reason for the slow climb by Gresley, checked by signals caused by the one driver using the lineside ‘phone.

    I was at Old Hill. The DMU running in front of the A4 stopped at the signal just before the station. The driver also stopped a south bound unit as it was pulling away from the station. Anyway, this explains the lack of a clear run. Pity really, would have been good to have seen her blasting up the bank. Must say it was a magnificent sight never the less.

    Gotcha! In dark jacket & light blue jeans? Can just see you in the group of 7 or 8 at the end of the platform.

    Just working on my photos at the moment.
