On Saturday, for the final trip of the month i decided to stay local again and update some more local stations, ready for my third book on West Midlands railway stations. I visited Lea Hall, Stechford, Birmingham International (including the Air-Rail link to the airport for the first time) and Hampton-in-Arden.
Revisiting Stechford had some good memories for me. The station is where i used to mainly go when i was a young train spotter in the 1980s. Of course, back then it was quite different, endless Class 86 hauled expresses going to and fro between Birmingham and London. The expresses remain but not quite as exciting. You can see my photos here.
