66304, 13.42 Mountsorrel-Crewe Basford Hall (6U77), Lichfield Trent Valley Junction (from Lichfield Trent Valley High Level station)
Having taken the short absolute block section of track from
Alrewas to here ar Lichfield Trent Valley Junction the 13.42 Mountsorrel to Crewe Basford Hall stone train takes the short spur to the north so that it can join the WCML. DRS' 66304 leads the train as it gingerly takes the sharp curve on to the single track spur. I am standing on the platform end of Trent Valley High Level station in order to take this unusual view including the superb L&NWR 1897 signal box.
