Birmingham New Street - Southern Approaches: lnwrbhm_sa2315

Schematic showing the original routes to New Street station from Aston, Coventry and Gloucester

Schematic showing the original routes to New Street station from Aston, Coventry and Gloucester. The LNWR up and down lines to London and the MR up and down lines to Bristol are shown as a single solid line with both routes passing the site of Banbury Street Goods to their right whilst the lines to Curzon Street Goods and Aston are on the left. The Curzon Street Goods line has a junction which allows lines to pass beneath Duddeston viaduct and rejoin the London lines at Grand Junction Signal Cabin. This line also once provided access to the MR line to Derby prior to the remodelling carried out in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
