Droitwich is the first open station on the line from Worcester to Birmingham Snow Hill (via Stourbridge). Here are two photographs taken in 1962. Just to the north of the station there is a spur to the right (now single track) that leads to Stoke Works where it joins the Birmingham and Gloucester line.
From 1968 Underwood & Co Ltd employed a diesel locomotive at a small coal yard to the north of the station. There was also a siding to a salt works owned by Salt Union Ltd at Covercroft.
Class 9F No.92150 passes through heading west on the Fawley to Bromford Bridge oil tanks on 21st July 1962. No.92150 was based at Saltley shed in Birmingham.
Another 9F sweeps through on a very wet day indeed. This is Banbury based loco No.92215.
Both photos collection of Andrew Smith.
