2. Lickey Incline-24.02.80

A totally wasted trip from home in Wiltshire to Lickey to see The Western Invader railtour that, in the end, did run very late and in darkness by the time it got to us waiting on Lickey. In the days before the internet, gen was not easily and widely available so many trips out to see non-running or heavily delayed (as in this case) trains took place. In the end, I only took one photograph in dreadful weather as this was the only train that we observed. What a waste of time and effort! However, the tape recording was somewhat better!
