Welcome
Welcome to the Lickey Incline blog devoted to the celebration of the railway and in particular the great days of steam trains both standard and narrow gauge, on the railways of Britain.

View SW, towards Bromsgrove etc.; ex-Midland Birmingham - Bristol
main line. At 1-in-37, few lines - let alone main lines - were burdened with a
steeper incline and virtually all Up trains here had to be sent up from
Bromsgrove with at least one banking engine; these were not coupled and they
dropped off at the summit at Blackwell. On this comparatively light train, the
14.22 stopping train from Worcester Shrub Hill to Birmingham New Street,
Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 45040 is managing so well with just the current
Bromsgrove banker (Class 9F 2-10-0 No. 92079) that it is blowing off as it
passes.
