I've written a number of posts describing some of the railway traffic movements in the West Midlands in the 1960s. Most of the observations are based on working (unofficially) in signal boxes. As I've located my original rough notes, I've written them up as this series of posts (as time permitted). Some of the posts cover many hours of observation, some are merely fragments. The tables below list these posts in date of observation, earliest first. I've separated posts covering the Stour Valley Line from those at Sedgeley Junction on the South Stafford Line. Links in the last column should get you to the individual posts.
