This video will show parts of what the former Great Western Mainline from Birmingham Snow Hill to Shrewsbury was like in the 1960s. Today the line from Snow Hill to Priestfield is now used by the Midland Metro.
A special thanks has to go to Michael Clemens of B&R videos for giving me permission to use various clips by his late father Jim Clemens who filmed the majority of the clips in this video. Credits also go to Michael Marsden for the clips of Swan Village and Oxley, and also Terence Dorrity for the clip of Stafford Road Shed 84a. Any B&R video by Jim Clemens is well worth having in anyone's collection. Enjoy this real blast from the past.
