Wylde Green (pjs,1213) - a photo on Flickriver

            This looks a grim day as a Metro-Cammell dmu departs from Wylde Green station towards Sutton Coldfield. To judge by the slightly non uniform boots of the stationmaster, the thick coat, headscarf and zip-up suede boots of the lady and the long coat of the old chap it must have been very cold and damp. The station has the original buildings and the swan neck lamps are delightful, a semaphore signal completes the effect. The picture looks older than it is, Peter took it on 13th December 1967.
The scene was to change forever when the line became the Cross-City line and later electrified.
