Now for a S.L.S special from Birmingham New Street to Harbourne along the now closed Harbourne branch.
The line was independently owned, but was operated from the start by the LNWR, who took 50% of the gross receipts from both passenger and freight traffic. It was a single line throughout, worked by the "one engine in steam" system, with six trains each way on weekdays.
Passenger services ceased in 1934 but remained open for freight and finally closed in 1963.
