GWR Route: Alcester to Hatton Junction

GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Bearley Junction: gwrbj805

A 48xx class 0-4-2T and auto trailer No.76 can be seen on the Branch approaching Edstone Aqueduct

Alcester was served by an Auto train, which shuttled up and down the Branch six times a day. Four of these journeys terminated at Bearley and two at Stratford. 70’ auto trailers (Diagram T) originally built in 1911, provided the passenger accommodation from the reopening of the Branch in 1923, until final closure. After 1934 the motive power was normally a 48xx class 0-4-2T engine. Here a 48xx class 0-4-2T and auto trailer No.76 can be seen on the Branch approaching Edstone Aqueduct. C1937
