Castle Bromwich Station: mrcb1718
Looking along the station's up platform which has very
little furniture evident other than the bench seat on the left. Above, hanging
from beneath the canopy, are signs indicating the platform number and the
location of the Ladies Room and Gentlemen's toilets/ Being of a maroon
background with white letter the signs were erected by British Railways circa
1954 reflecting the then corporate style. The sign fixed to the wall on the
left displaying the number '3' is a black numeral on a white background and was
the new 1960s British Rail corporate style, the omission of 'ways' being
thought to be more modern. The sign was for drivers of three-car Diesel
Multiple Units indicating where they should stop in attempt to help passengers
to stand at an appropriate place. There would be a similar sign further down
the platform with the number '6'.
