An early 20th century view of the station looking across the down main platform across to the Redditch platforms

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.
