Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Railway and canal near Birmingham University The Worcester and Birmingham Canal was built in the mid 1790s here, and fully open to Worcester by 1815. The Midland Railway was opened here in 1876. The railway now brings in lines from Redditch and Worcester, running close to the canal all the way to the city centre.
The Class 323 electric multiple units were built by Hunslet TPL from 1992-93. Forty-three 3-car units were built for inner-suburban services around Birmingham and Manchester. These trains were the last vehicles to be built by the struggling manufacturer Hunslet before it collapsed. (Wiki) The unit in the image is probably en route for Redditch, having come from Lichfield via Birmingham. |
