The Bedford OWB was produced during the war years. It has slatted wooden seating and a Bedford petrol engine. By 1964, not many survived, but this example, in the ownership of Eagle Coaches, was caught passing Trench Post Office on a local service.

This shows the branch below the foot of Trench Inclined Plane. The canal has been derelict for many years. The disused iron works on the left has still not been cleared away. A dual carriageway now obscures all of this area.

Old Station House, Trench Crossing 2009
As the rail link to the Donnington Freight Depot is now in use again the rail crossing has been re-instated. I bet the heavy freight locos make the crockery rattle when they pass! The house in 2003 here--Image

Old iron foundry near Trench Lock, Shropshire
This large works had already closed when the photograph was taken in 1963. It had a rail connection, via level crossing across the A518, to the ex-LNWR Wellington- Stafford line. The Trench Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal, disused and heavily overgrown, is between the photographer and the works, with Trench Lock just off-picture to the right. The area is now buried beneath a dual carriageway.
