Notes :
(1) Alan Osborn comments: Included a Bus transfer from Kidderminster to Hampton
Loade for the 15.30 service to Bridgnorth and back on the 16.05 train (this
being the Severn Valley in its infancy when only Bridgnorth to Hampton Loade was
operational). My notes do mention Bewdley station so we might have a had a
stop-over there on the way but I haven't recorded the times.
