20th of October, my and my brother went to Tyseley, good looking Station, you can se Tyseley TMD from the Birmingham end of the station but the only problem i had with it was Sawdust!

Strange problem i know but right next to the station, they have an huge massive pile of wood, from woodern chairs to wardrobes and tables which you can see in picture below on the right hand side

Yesterday was very wind day and the wind was blowing towards Sttratford direction and blew sawdust and wood chippings towards the station annd exposed of sawdust blizzards!

the picture below shows an London Midland Class 150 in a sawdust blizzard

at the end of the day, Trainspotters and people who use this station shouldn't had to deal with sawdust blowing at them, i can't remember how many times yesterday that sawdust hit my eyes

anyone else had this problem at Tyseley? please feel free to share your story

i'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong section, i wasn''t sure if it goes here or photography

never thought about that...but mentioning that, it is true, the wood next to the station is waste and you sawdust blowing hurting your eyes isn't fun could take someone eye out
