Q

Because of the sharp ascent up the Lickey Incline, why might you need to speak to WMT Control and the signaller about before leaving Bromsgrove?

If you are a single Unit and 1 of the Traction Converters have failed….. because it might be too difficult for your Unit to get up the hill on its own power, especially in poor weather)
