A southbound class 323 passenger train passes under the bridge at Brookledge Road. The British Rail Class 323 electric multiple units (EMUs) 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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_323 ) These trains were amongst the last constructed in the UK before rail privatisation.
