The Way We Were: Fosse Way, Lichfield

            Class 47 No. 47297 climbs towards Hammerwich on the South Staffordshire Railway route from Lichfield on 9th May 1984 with the Immingham to Angelsey Sidings tanks, which served the Charrington's Oil Depot. In the background is the closed Fosse Way level crossing signal box; the level crossing had been automated some time earlier. By this time the through route to Walsall had closed, on 19th March 1984 in fact, but the stub from Lichfield to Angelsey Sidings remained until 2002. The last train to serve Charrington's ran on 17th May 2001. The trackbed remains in place, as does a new bridge spanning the M6 Toll Road close to Angelsey Sidings.
