70000, Stafford Road Junction, August 1965

Another scan from an old negative which was never printed and I had forgotten taking. This is, I think, the northbound Pines Express passing Stafford Road Junction, Wolverhampton behind BR Standard Class 7 No. 70000 BRITANNIA on 28th August 1965.

 

Although of poor quality, I have uploaded this because of its rarity value. It was taken from the abandoned horse box platform of Dunstall Park Station which had been provided to enable the movement of horses and grooms to and from the nearby racecourse. The buildings on the right formed part of the ex GWR Stafford Road Works which had closed during the previous year.
