LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Redditch Station: mrred1301

The Metro-Cammell two-car DMU had just arrived on 10:30am service from New Street on 27th September 1962

The Metro-Cammell two-car DMU had just arrived on 10:30am service from New Street on 27th September 1962. Geoffrey Skelsey writes, 'By this time a much-improved local service was in operation between New Street and Redditch, and the limited remaining service between Redditch and Ashchurch was being worked as a steam-hauled shuttle. The driver is in the process of changing the rear destination blind: although the electrified ‘cross city’ service now operates between Redditch and Lichfield, this was not then the case and the sign is coincidental'.
