GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Bordesley Station: gwrbg1086a

Close up showing the main up and down platforms with the odd extension that accommodated the stairs to Coventry Road at this end of the building

Close up of image 'gwrbg1086' showing the main up and down platforms with the odd extension that accommodated the stairs to Coventry Road at this end of the building. The station was not inhibited by a need to minimise weight as was built using the same materials as standard GWR stations. The viaduct was built to accommodate the weight of many trains and therefore was more than adequate in carrying the load of the station. Had it been built on an embankment then the station would have been built with timber framed and clad buildings and platforms.
