Penlan Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 A link? https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Worcester-Locomotive-Shed-Engines-and-Train-Workings-Hardback/p/17954 Unfortunately the description doesn't mention the former Midland Railway shed at Worcester, OK, title is western region etc., but a brief review may have been useful. It of course may well be in the book, but I don't have a copy. This is a copy I traced from a 1:500 O.S Map back in the 1960's. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a common practice on joint lines although it could lead to personal problems in later years as staff found themselves on different pension conditions when they retired and those who hadn't joined the 'right' company found they were not getting any pension at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
