New operator Finesse Travel on stage carriage 2018.

I apologise for repeating two photographs of Optare Solo YN03 ZWA on this website, but wondered if it had been missed under the Diamond Redditch bus station section as there have been no comments, favourable, or otherwise, so far! A new operator in Worcestershire, possibly new to stage carriage work...

Re: Worcester Shrub Hill in December 2017.

Here are a few photographs taken on Saturday morning 13 January 2018 of a Pathfinder charter train 'The Severn Aggregator' hauled by DBS 66230. This locomotive is clean and tidy as it has only recently been repainted in the red livery of this German based operator. Most of its stablemates are in a f...

Re: Worcester Shrub Hill in December 2017.

1 class 800 diagram in operation at the moment on weekdays. Booked through Worcester Shrub Hill at 0921, 1015, 1641 and 1733. Another 1 should be in operation next week. Operationally they are very awkward especially when using a wheelchair ramp or loading cycles. The 1st Class section is very disa...

Re: Worcester Shrub Hill in December 2017.

Thanks for the first hand report, Tim. It doesn't sound as the new trains are particularly exciting from a passenger's point of view. I just don't understand why seating on trains (and buses too for that matter) can't be made more comfortable. I understand that they need to be hard wearing and dura...

Worcester Shrub Hill in December 2017.

Wednesday 13 December 2017 still had some snow on the ground so I took a few shots during the morning to record the scene with a few of the Diesel Multiple Units at work to and from the city. 'Adelante' Class 180 no longer work on GWR routes having been acquired by Grand Central Trains for ECML serv...
