LMS designed (built 1949, diagram D2172) Royal Mail Stowage Van (POS) M30270 at Vauxhall & Duddeston station

LMS designed (built 1949, diagram D2172) Royal Mail Stowage Van (POS) M30270 at Vauxhall & Duddeston station circa 1960. Eric Steele advises: The train is standing on the Down fast and the photographer is on the Slow Lines island platform adjacent to the running-in board. Trains from New street for the Duddeston Carriage Shed arrived on the Down Fast and were then taken by the depot shunter back into the siding in front of the signal box. If they were too long they had to be split on the maiin line. BR Mk1 BSK SC34215 is also visible.
