Hello everyone. It's great to be back and getting out and about (locally of course and in a safe way!).
Here's a trip I've been wanting to do for some time and I'm not even sure why! I guess it's just because it's there - the shortest branch line in the UK - Stourbridge Junction to Stourbridge Town on the Class 139 Parry People Mover. It's a distance of around 0.8 miles and takes approximately 3 minutes each way. It has an interesting history I'll tell you about in the video plus a little bit about Stourbridge Junction and how much it costs. Needless to say, it's not expensive and you may question why it's there in the first place. Why not have a bus? Also, what exactly do you call it? A train? A tram? Maybe it really is a 'people mover' - that's what the company that built the current vehicles call it!
Anyway, please enjoy the video and if you like it, I would really appreciate it if you could give me a thumbs up and a comment - maybe even subscribe! That would be great. I've got lots of stuff coming up that I'm really looking forward to so, thanks for watching and cheers for now!
Mark.
