Railway Roundabout 1959 'S.L.S Special To Harbourne'
Рет қаралды 40,350
Күн бұрынNow for a S.L.S special from Birmingham New Street to Harbourne along the now closed Harbourne branch.
The line was independently owned, but was operated from the start by the LNWR, who took 50% of the gross receipts from both passenger and freight traffic. It was a single line throughout, worked by the "one engine in steam" system, with six trains each way on weekdays.
Passenger services ceased in 1934 but remained open for freight and finally closed in 1963.
Footage owned by their respective owners

Oh dear! So many comments about a spelling error. How about enjoying the film? That is a joy to watch.

Smethwick West station is still here but heavily overgrown and the signal box is long gone too And the spur line is still used only this time by the Severn valley railway convoy ECS movement as well as the railtours and freight they all use the spur line As for the line coming in from the left as of today this line has been reconnected to snow hill station and smethwick Galton bridge has been built in 1995 some a couple of years later than this clip

For what it's worth, the bridge shown at 0:55 is Rotton Park Road, as the train travels parallel with Gillott Road en route to Harborne. I believe the next station was on Station Avenue, then Hagley Road.

The harborne branch is no longer here because it’s now used as a pedestrian walkway

sadly the station house at Longbridge has now been torn down a few years go, and it wasn't necessary imo.

The narration is somewhat incorrect. The passing point on the Halesowen Railway is Rubery and Not Hunnington as stated. Concidering the film shows Rubery.

Is it so difficult to spell a simple place name accurately? Harborne often suffers it. Try spelling other places inaccurately too like Eastborne, Lundon, Bornmouth, Oxferd, Bristel, Cardif. These are just as stupid as spelling HARBORNE inaccurately. Rant over................
