Lesmac Swift Trolley 901007
Trolley 901007 was built by Lesmac in 2006 as LMS017.[2] The trolley carries an identification tag "fastline FL027286" visible between two of the seats, which suggests the former owner was Fastline, a company which ceased trading when parent company Jarvis plc entered administration and subsequently ceased trading in late March 2010.[3]

The tunnel contractors, Walsh Construction, provided the Lesmac and its trailer on extended loan.[4] The photograph in August 2020 shows the trolley at its regular storage location alongside the DownIn reference to the direction of travel means away from the major terminus (i.e. towards Bridgnorth on the present day SVR) line at Bewdley.
