LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Alcester Station: mra551
Alcester station's brick built up platform passenger waiting
room which was built after the line was doubled through the station. The
structure is rather sparse and not too dissimilar to the 'bus stop' designs
seen today being open to the elements having no door nor chimney. Passengers
arriving early for the Birmingham or Bearley services would have waited until
the last minute before leaving the down platform's more comfortable
accommodation during the winter. The row of fire buckets under the window was a
sight seen at every station and were generally filled with sand which was more
effective in putting out stray embers.
