Over the weekend, the local newspaper- the Express & Star had a photo of the box-jack with a PC138-8 (probably the one above?) sitting inside and left holding up a section of pipe/hose for a large pump.
A few weeks ago I was waiting to catch a train into Birmingham at night and I was stood about where you took the photo from the platform Jeremy and saw Bam Nuttall workers move a Terex Amida mobile lighting tower (whilst fully lit!) by lowering the mast, chaining it to a Komatsu rubber duck, lifting it up and driving off into the site with it swaying gently in the dark. I cursed myself for not having a camera on me I can tell you!

Re: WCML Tunnel (Tipton)
Nice find IBH
I never realised that it was the last level crossing on the WCML and I won't question the claim that the barriers are down for 45mins out of every hour cos I've waited many an eternity at that blessed level crossing, except when I'm on me motorcyle then I use the pedestrian tunnel erm........
