31st August 1991
Set: T307
Most of the line from Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury was controlled by mechanical signalboxes in 1991 and the one at Bilbrook is just visible in the right background of this picture of Tyseley's class 117 T307 (51370 + 59522 + 51412) heading towards the West Midlands with a train from Chester on 31 August 1991. Peter Tandy.
31st August 1991
Set: LO287
A stranger in the camp at Bilbrook on the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton line during the morning of 31 August 1991. The 2 car class 108 (LO287, presumably 54203 + 51911) still was allocated to Longsight at this time and I imagine that it had been borrowed by Chester depot to fill in for the lack of a set from Tyseley, the usual source for trains between Wolverhampton and Chester. Much of This line was controlled with mechanical signalling at this time and Bilbrook signalbox is just visible behind the bushes on the right hand side of the line. The destination panel in the unit's cab reads "Chester" although the train isn't far from its Wolverhampton destination. Peter Tandy.
