LPPC DSL BW 0918 It’s high summer as one of the through London to Hereford expresses, headed by a Brush Type 4 Class 47, heads past the long-closed Malvern Wells station and is about to join the single-line through Colwall Tunnel under the Malvern Hills. The photo was shot standing on the junction bridge of the line to Tewkesbury and Ashchurch via Upton on Severn. This was closed in December 1952, but the section from Upton onwards remained open to passengers until 1961 and freight until December 1964. That part terminated at Ashchurch, as will be seen later in this collection. Keywords: BR, Western, Class 47, Malvern Wells, Passenger
