Looking along the deep cutting towards Coventry from Bordesley Green Road bridge on 4th June 1960

Looking along the deep cutting towards Coventry from Bordesley Green Road bridge on 4th June 1960. The down loop line can be seen on the right passing behind the down platform and beneath the bridge. Access to the down loop line from the down loop was convulated as there was no facing points providing direct access. Trains would have to remain on the down line and stop beyond the points in order to then reverse on to the up line. Having reversed on to the up line the signalman would then set the points for the train to then draw forward from the up line onto the loop line.
