circa 1966
W50686 is leading this service for Hereford, it has run from Snow Hill and is picking up the Stourbridge Line at Smethwick west Junction, circa 1966. The line which the train has used was closed to passenger trains when Snow Hill closed but remained in use for freight, when the Jewellery line opened passengers returned once again. The train is approaching Smethwick West station, the station was replaced just after the Jewellery line opened by the more convenient interchange station at Smethwick Galton Bridge. To the right of the signal box the tunnel to Galton Junction can be seen, also on the right a ladder is against the signal box at an insane angle. Above the train is the top of a blast furnace, a very common sight back then but nearly extinct now. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
circa 1966
The driver of the Swindon unit (the far car is 50686) opens up having negotiated the junction at Smethwick West. The train is bound for Hereford and will continue though Stourbridge and Worcester, these comfortable units has curtains and little Formica topped tables just big enough to put two cups of tea on. Smethwick West would soon have a rebuild, the engineering blue brick platforms were too low, as can be seen on the far platform a set of steps was provided for the less sprightly. Peter Shoesmith took this from under the footbridge circa 1966, the smoke deflector is seen at the top, the pre-rebuild station was a fine building with a good size awning to protect the passengers although of course the would be a disinfectant smelling waiting room to retreat into. The platforms are still there today with their tiny bus shelters and platform lights but everything is slowly disappearing into a verdant wilderness. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.
