Barnt Green - Autumn 1992

Some track maintenance on those crossovers wouldn't go a miss!!

[@FeckHallBahn]

Chances are that I was on one of those DMUs - travelled Redditch to New St regularly to get to work

How times have changed, now it's just a procession of Voyagers, 170's, 323's and 66's that pass through my local station, I used to sit on that very up platform in the 70's watching Westerns, Peaks, 50's, 37's and many other great locomotives. Oh for those days again 😫

so nice to see class 37s and 47, great video GWR yam yam!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

why is the class 153 turning back at barnt green it supposed to be keeping going to Birmingham new street

[@shaneh87]

Back in those days the Stourbridge line was used for services between Hereford/Worcester and Birmingham New Street as all trains using that line went into New Street. This section of the line was only used by a shuttle between Worcester and Barnt Green which is why the train is going into the siding.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Oh right okay

[@AndreiTupolev]

16:49 letting a DMU off the branch and thus delaying the HST?

[@timwattison4419]

They still do it today, as I'm a very driver of those HST's 😫

~~ BURNT GREEN..I haven't a clue as to where this is...?? Will have to check this out in my Track Atlas...!!!.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Those four-car class 116 sets must have had a pretty marginal power to weight ratio. I bet they weren't allowed down the Lickey.

[@motormouser]

What a fab video

[@timothyparsons8327]

The era of freight trains which could be shorter than the locomotive!
