Down on the clock
Class 43 locomotive No. 43008 approaches the Droitwich Road overbridge in Worcestershire with 1V50, the 06:06 Edinburgh to Plymouth service on Tuesday 5th September 2023. Sister locomotive No. 43007 was at the rear.
An unexplained delay in the Stoke Works Junction area, just up the line, meant that the train was running some 13 minutes behind schedule as it passed this point. There was once a station just here, called Droitwich Road, which existed for only 15 years between 1840 and 1855.
