Operational Instructions for the Halesowen Joint Line from the GWR Appendix to STT March 1929

Operational Instructions for the Halesowen Joint Line from the Great Western Railway Appendix to Service Time Table dated March 1929. Note the speed restriction at various locations on the line and that two engines were prohibited from working together over the Dowery Dell Viaduct when travelling towards Halesowen. This meant special arrangements had to be made in the event of a locomotive failure.
