The long Way Round

            43xxx 890924 Droitwich SW-NE

Back in the days of BR, whilst sectorisation was beginning to creep in there was still a willingness to divert trains on a Sunday instead of resorting to the Rail Replacement Bus service Cross country sevices were often diverted away from their booked route. This is more difficult now due the route knowledge not being kept on the various diversionary routes that was required in those days.
A HST service is seen passing through the Junction at Droitwich and heading off towards Birmingham via Kidderminster with a train from the South.
The Underwoods Coal Yard has been lifted and the little blue shunter is awaiting it fate. Does anyone know where it is now?
