All the green fields gone, replaced by a rabbit Warren of housing. My journey was late 50s when the station master at Alvechurch kept a beautiful cottage garden, I think he won best kept station a few times. The sound of the steam engine lulled you to sleep, saying whatever you wanted it to say.
It's amazing this video has been found, lets keep liking so this video does not go extinct!
1989 the year we moved to Alvechurch - many fond memories of the children laughing as they bounced along.
