LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Barnt Green: mrbg622
An early 20th century view of the station looking across the
down main platform across to the Redditch platforms. The line on the left is
the refuge siding a facility designed to allow goods trains to be cleared for
passing passenger services. According to the track layouts of the 1880s (see
'mrbg1415', 'mrbg1416'
and 'mrbg1417') reproduced in Bob Essery's book a
turntable existed between the down platform to Gloucester and the up platform
from Redditch. A later layout drawing of the 1894 modifications (see image
'mrbg1414') shows the turntable now removed.
