In the pouring rain, MPVs DR98908 & DT98958 pass through Wilmcote station on 22 October 2009 with the 3S87 09:10 Kings Norton to Kings Norton Rail Head Treatment Train, just after it had reversed at Stratford-upon-Avon. Wilmcote station retains plenty of Great Western character, with both station building and the small waiting room on the opposite platform still extant and in excellent condition. Incidentally the standard of brickwork on these buildings is far in excess of what you would find with present day construction, which probably explains why they have survived so well. Also, the GWR covered footbridge means I didn't get wet whilst waiting for this train! |
