PARRY PEOPLE MOVER’S ON STOURBRIDGE LINE
Stourbridge Line – Sunday 17th May 2009

139 002 - the first of the Parry People Mover’s to operate on the UK national rail network between Stourbridge Junction and Stourbridge Town – is now operating weekday off-peak services (1000-1500). Fellow vehicle 139 001 arrived at the site today (Sunday 17th May) and the PPM50 999 900 has now gone back to Cradley Works where it is likely to go to the USA. It is expected that a full service using Parry People Mover’s should start after next weekend.
