The new station at Bromsgrove is tidy but functional and while a huge improvement on its predecessor the waiting shelters are hardly adequate on a cheerless damp November morning. This view of LM Class 170 No. 170516 calls with the 09:40 Hereford-Birmingham New St service on 14th November 2016, looking north. Platform 3, empty in the foreground, is the new 'Down Slow' and will be used by terminating 'Cross-City' EMUs once the new electrified service begins. This gives an unusual 'Up Slow', 'Up Fast', 'Down Slow', 'Down Fast' track layout.
