The photo caption reads 'This isn't what you normally find outside Bromsgrove Railway Stat...

Thought you'd be interested as I know you do like to keep an eye on local rail-replacements :) Will be interested in your findings certainly is a strange one :? From the user name of the uploader it would seem they are from that area and mention something about being a shuttle bus to an art exhibiti...
