<p>The prospect of seeing a pannier tank at work on the North Warwickshire line proved to be to much for Peter to ignore therefore he made his way to Yardley Wood.<br />
His reward was to witness 7752 working an LCGB railtour to Stratford-upon-Avon. From what I could glean from <a href="http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk</a> the trip was not without problems, the pannier has 6 loaded Mk I coaches and it appeared to overload the loco on some of the gradients, Wood End tunnel being one, they even had cows on the line at some point.<br />
Yardley Wood station was a perfect example of a GWR suburban station with buildings and the lovely swan neck lamps intact. This view shows the small building on the Stratford-upon-Avon bound platform, today it has had the front wall and awnings removed to create a deep and draughty waiting shelter, the buildings on the Birmingham platform have suffered less, they still have an awning, not quite original but quite effective.<br />
Pannier tank 7752 was built by North British Locomotive Company and put into traffic 30/11/1930, it was sold to London Transport after withdrawal from British Railways in 1959 and sold into preservation from LT in 1971.<br />
Although a preservation steam picture, this does show how the ordinary railway infrastructure has changed over the years.<br />

<p>Just before Christmas and the inevitable following lockdown, Cheryl and I decided to do one last Stratford walk in 2020. We arrived early, and following our normal route to Clifford Chambers started to walk along the Avon. <br />
<br />
As we past the church and rejoined the river proper, the sun rose and a beautiful day begin. It remained dry and bright as we passed Clifford Chambers. However, just before returning to Stratford, the most menacing of storms appeared. We were sure that we’d get wet, but it never happened. The heavy rain passed by, and I managed to get a few shots of the dramatic skies. <br />
<br />
Once back in town, we thought we’d make the most of the quiet streets and pop to Shakespear’s Birthplace. On arrival, we were amazed at the lack of sightseers, and I made the most of it capturing a tourist free shot of the whole frontage.</p>

<p>The booking office at Tyseley is rarely open and during lockdown I have not seen it occupied. Most people using the station are railway workers travelling to and from the depot. The shiny floor has been mopped over by a contract cleaner who put his mop into a Transit and drove away. <br />
What a change from the bustling station of our trainspotting days when railway vans were fully occupied bringing and collecting parcels from the covered frontage and the platforms saw a constant footfall from shift workers employed at the many local factories.<br />
172335 arrives with 2J49 the 13.26 Stratford-upon-Avon to Stourbridge Junction service, five railway staff got on, no-one got of, the floor remained pristine.</p>

<p>No one seems to have the slightest concern for the children who are standing unprotected next to a moving engine.<br />
GWR 4-6-0 5051 Drysllwyn Castle / Earl Bathurst is just leaving the sidings at Stratford Upon Avon in order to turn on the triangle at Hatton. This will be a light engine move! 9-10-82<br />
The loco at this date was running as Drysllwyn Castle.</p>
