Let's Visit - Worcester Shrub Hill

[@TheSickyNicky]

Just found your channel - keep up the good work. I live near Worcester and was trying to work out the angles you were shooting, but it looks like you might have reversed some of the footage. Looking more closely, near the start, you can see the platform number is reversed. I'm sure your video editing software can fix that.

Another cracking video, top drawer as always.

Brilliant video of one of my favourite stations, I used to travel through it in the late 70s and early 80s , sadly the last time I went there. It looks largely unchanged although it was still retaining the old BR (W) totem signs in the 80s when most had the plain BR black text on white. I think those short platforms in the 70s were used for parcels or disused, I can't quite remember. I remember a departmental loco class 24 sat semi perminent in Plat 3 possibly a train heating unit. There was a stone/brick engine depot in the trangle but it had lost its roof at some point earlier. Shunting of freight wagons was active in the 70s with class 08s and it was the first and only time I witnessed fly shunting where the uncoupled wagon is pushed and the loco stops and the wagon freewheels. Just to the south/eastern outside the station was a row of open mineral wagons that were being filled with some kind of metal waste from a factory that looked like aluminum. The bridge you mentioned as disused has /had goods lift and I suspect they are used occaisionally for accessible access for wheelchair users? Traction at the time consisted of class 50 and 47 on passenger and 31 and 37 on freight as well as an assortment of dmus. Parkway was a future fantasy station that one day they hoped would be built.

Thank you for the additional history of the station and I'm glad you liked the video.
