This siding into Worcester's Metal Box works was the last industrial siding in Worcestershire when it closed earlier this year. Sadly, the factory will soon shut down altogether. A class 66 used to visit here on weekdays, leaving at about 7am. On this occasion, the only scrap traffic to be seen was in road vehicle trailers. UPDATE JULY 2018: sadly, this factory has now been demolished.
