Talk:Bumble Hole line

Shortest line?

 * "It was one of the shortest railway lines ever built"

It is no wonder that this has attracted a citation request. There must be a word missing after 'shortest': independent?, self-contained?, four-track? (I have no idea, as I'd never heard of the line before!)

There must be many railway lines that are as short. The GWR Windsor Branch line is no more than a couple of miles long, and there must be countless more that are little more than sidings...

 * Not to mention the nearby - and shorter! - Strourbidge branch!. Text removed; line described as "short" in opening. Andy Mabbett 18:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Railbuses
Does anybody know what the mentioned Railbus was? was it actually a railbus, or a bubblecar? what were it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.151.140 (talk) 19:24, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

If the last years of the line were in the 1960s it was probably a a Class 122 or similar. Britmax (talk) 22:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Apparently the 122s worked the dudley-birmingham line. Would this have gone through bumble hole to link up with old hill, possibly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.151.140 (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
