Watching the trains at Longbridge, on the West Midlands line from Birmingham to the South West of England. Cross County services and London Midland are the main operator.
I lived in Longbridge as a kid in the early 70s until the late 80s and caught many a smelly and noisy DMU's from there to Birmingham to buy albums and watch bands at the Birmingham Odeon.I remember them building the passenger footbridge lol.Good to see some decent electric motive power now.I even remember my Dad bringing me down in the late 70s to witness the Mail train coming through Longbridge.Great memories. I'm travelling down to Plymouth soon from Brum on the train so I guess I will be passing through again.
I like the part where there train was crossing over between tracks to turn around. That always looked nice to me, a EMU groing through a series of 4 switches. It pretty common here in Philadelphia.
That’s right madam some trains do terminate at longbridge by Crossing Over the tracks and into the stabling sidings which is Before the former branch to Halesowen comes in from the left the others continue to redditch calling at barnt green alvechurch And redditch
