Tamworth was popular as it was the nearest place on the West Coast Main Line for us, we spent a lot of time sitting on that grassy bank just down the line from the station, wonderful memories.

Hi PB I used to do my Tamworth spotting in a field next to the low level station and on the station itself, can still see the Britannia's stopping at the station in my mind, Great Days.
Used to see locos of the GWR and SR when I was younger, lived in Brighton for a few years and had relatives in Worcester and Stratford on Avon for the GWR trains.
