LPPC DSL BW 1193 Passengers in this southbound North and West express have just spent a Sunday lunchtime becoming very familiar with the location of the long-closed Bredon station, about two miles north of Ashchurch on the Birmingham-Bristol main line, after their Peak Class 45 failed. Help has arrived in the shape of an English Electric Class 37, presumably from the Gloucester direction on the engineers’ train seen in the far background. Rail ground staff are waiting for the train to cross to the northbound line to pass it by running wrong line. Meanwhile, the theatricals are being enjoyed by a local taking a break from his allotment. The hill on the left takes its name from the village and is Bredon Hill, after which A E Housman wrote his poem On Bredon Hill, after he finished A Shropshire Lad. Keywords: BR, Bredon, Ashchurch, Class 37, Class 45, Drag, rescue, Failed, Passenger
