Walsall Bescot to Lichfield City (Full Version, Speeded up)

[manfat2]

I used to travel along this line daily from Pelsall to B'ham and occasionally to Lichfield and sometimes to Burton.(steam and then diesel units)Once went on an excursion from Pelsall to Alton Towers (train was packed) Thank you for bringing back memories,never thought I would see this line again.

They really need to re-open the South Staffordshire Line!

i had to speed the video up to fit as a whole film on youtube, so the sound doesn't match the video, but atleast you can view the full version which would of taken over 24mins to view.

The original copy, which was given to us had 1975 written on the disk, but like you say, after a few views you could tell it was alot later. On the real time part 2 video, you can hear the driver mention that the line from Lichfield to Anglesey is going to be left and converted to single line running.

Excellent, thanks for uploading the full version. Nice to see the box known as 'Bodleys' at 01.33 and the Peak on a freight at Walsall. The revised date of 1982 would be about right as the spur to Birchills Power station (on the North Walsall line) was closed and lifted circa 1981, you can see where it used to go off to the left at Ryecroft Junction at 03.02, just past a brick hut.
