This is a log of trains seen during a two hour period of observation from 10:45 on a typical weekday.
158748 - 10:51 Great Malvern to Brighton (First Great Western service).
Class 158 diesel multiple unit No.158748 sets out from Worcester Shrub Hill on its marathon journey to Brighton.
170507 + 153334 - 11:15 Worcester Foregate Street to Dorridge (diverted service).
166212 - 09:21 London Paddington to Worcester Foregate Street and 12:04 return.
Class 166 'Network Turbo Express' diesel multiple unit No.166212 waits to depart for London Paddington via Evesham.
150278 - 09:10 Southampton to Great Malvern and 12:51 Great Malvern to Weymouth.
A little known service operated by 'Arriva Trains Wales' or rather 'renau Arriva Cymru' which presumably means the same thing passes Tyseley based unit No.150005. If ever there was a case for all traction being in a common livery then this is it. The service to Weymouth is actually operated by First Great Western.
150132 + 150214 - arrived empty at 11:00 to form the 13:16 Worcester Shrub Hill to Dorridge.
Formerly parts of units Nos.150006 and 150022 but again operating as No.150214 stands in the bay platform at Worcester Shrub Hill before operating a service to Dorridge.
150005 - 10:22 Shirley to Worcester Shrub Hill and 13:47 return.
Just beyond the other end of class 150 diesel multiple unit No.150005 is a set of points that will allow the train to gain access to platform one in order that it can operate a service to Dorridge.
43015 & 43198 - 10:22 London Paddington to Hereford.
A fine set of signals is behind class 43 power car No.43015 as it prepares to set off for Hereford. The stabling point as usual is empty during the working day.
