All Great Eastern Railway locomotives are pretty in their lovely blue livery. Some even looked good in LNER green. Thankfully none were unfortunately painted in GWR diesel green like many of the engines from the red railway and the big ones form the apple green railway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rarely drive through Billbook althrough I do remember it vaguely Going to The Black country it was either the A41 into Wolverhampton or the Rat run via Wombourne.

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted April 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2020 Didn't realise you'd escaped too Don! Bilbrook was not much of a station, just 2 platforms with shelters, in fact it was "Birches and Bilbrook Halt" when first opened. Still, trains from there got me to Brum for first few years of work before I moved. For a while the stopping train I got was actually one of the Shrewsbury-Wolves-Euston sets and would stop with the 1st class section by the platform (due to the short length). So anyone getting on there would have 1st class seat for all of 10 mins before being turfed out at Wolves. Then into a 310 if lucky (or a 304 if not) for the run to New St... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
