Birmingham New Street to Bromsgrove
These are:
Five Ways
University
Selly Oak
Bournville - home of Cadburys
Kings Norton - where things get a little more interesting as it's at the southern end of the Camp Hill line which avoids New Street
Northfield - this is where all this nonsense started for me back in the early 1970's. It was on the centre platform (before it was closed) that I first stood and took train numbers..
Longbridge
Barnt Green - junction for the Redditch branch
Bromsgrove - at the bottom of the Lickey Incline. These days the banking engines come out from Saltley depot on the odd occasion they're required...I can remember when - as in the photo of 37210 - there were two, usually 37's, stabled there all the time.
