Interior of the new Soho & Winson Green Warehouse showing the transit area on the ground floor. In the centre were two railway tracks each with a capacity of fourteen wagons running parallel to the two transit platforms. Instructions in the Great Western Railway - Towns, Villages, etc (Goods Stations) Handbook of 1938 identified that truck loads of freight for Birmingham, which were subject to scale charges should be sent to the Soho & Winson Green Warehouse. In 1937 this yard handled 38,000 tons of traffic.
