Hi Mate!
Hi Mate!

A cheery wave from the signaller at Lichfield T.V. Junction box greets the driver of Freightliner Class 70 No. 70006 as it cautiously approaches the cross over which will enable the heavily laden train, 6U77 1344 Mountsorrel-Crewe VQ, to take the chord that leads to the Trent Valley line. The route from Wichnor Junction is the old South Staffordshire line which ran via Lichfield to Walsall and Dudley through to Stourbridge Junction. It was closed as a through route between Lichfield and Walsall in 1984, although a stub to Anglesey Sidings remained open until 2001 to serve Charrington's Oil Depot. Shortly after this photograph was taken the working from Mountsorrel to Crewe was taken over by Direct Rail Services. Copyright John Whitehouse-all rights reserved
