We must stop meeting like this. A diverted Bournemouth to Manchester Voyager is shown up by its more elegant predecessor, the last HST scheduled from Paddington to Great Malvern; which only actually reached Shrub Hill. Having been delayed en route by a steam charter and a signal failure, 43162 and chums had been recessed to allow the Voyager to pass through the station (the centre road being occupied by a class 172 DMU). The wasteland on the left was formerly the Metal Box factory, which was served by the last industrial siding in Worcestershire. see image 43250See query 2111
