'twas the day before Monday, and all over the junction, not a unit was stirring, not even - hang on, there's a People Mover. I can't make up my mind whether this shot more closely resembles an innocuous dream, or a railway postcard. It certainly doesn't look like a densely developed suburb. That's 139.002 on the shuttle from Town to Junction, by the way.

The old station at Stourbridge Town in 1977 with the railcar about to leave for Stourbridge Junction. The station closed 2 years later in its centenary year to be replaced by a new station a short distance to the southeast. This second station lasted a mere 15 years, being replaced by the current Stourbridge Town station in 1994.
