170398, XC 11.10 Nottingham-Cardiff Central (1V08, 7L), Birmingham New Street station
170398 leaves New Street with the 11.10 Nottingham to Cardiff
Central. Despite Birmingham New Street having had an extensive re-build there is still vast amounts of its previous re-construction in the 1960s in evidence. This bridge parapet has not weathered particularly well but I suppose that's characteristic of most of the brutalist style!
