Cradley Heath - Tuesday 2nd & Wednesday 3rd June 2026
On Tuesday I managed to see the Leicester L.I.P. to Landore T.M.D. NMT with 43014 & 43062 'John Armitt' - this is quite a rarity as I'm usually on 'Granddad' duties on a Tuesday...
On Wednesday we had 2Q08 with 950001. This ran from Shrewsbury Abbey Foregate Sidings, literally 'all round the Wrekin', to Derby R.T.C. (Serco). It came down through Cradley to Kidderminster then up the Round Oak branch.
I managed to see this twice, on the way down and coming back again...
Thanks for watching
