I know this is the wrong thread for this picture but it is a train. Its the latest steamer built in this country on its maiden voyage. In the paper today so it has taken place in the last couple of days.
Hi
No Semis in our day's.(1952 to 1960) I suspect alterations were made to
the Tunnel system to cover the future of Electrification so somewhere in the
early 1960's i guess 1962 onwards Semis were allowed
into New Street. I remember in my Kynoch day's around
this period all soughts went through.
A lot of semies were transfered to more mundane duties
with the use of diesels on the west coast.

Hi Dav89
I had a school friend who lived in West View which actually lies in the fork of where the two lines separate. From his bedroom at the back he could see the main New Street line and from the front of the house he could see the Aston spur line. Real Heaven to a young lad in the 1950s
