GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch

Bearley Station: gwrb783a

Close up looking towards Bearley Junction, with Alcester branch auto train in the up platform

Close up of image 'gwrb783' looking towards Bearley Junction, with Alcester branch auto train in the up platform on 19th May 1939. The new footbridge pictured here was constructed as part of the station improvements associated with the doubling of the track between Bearley and Hatton in 1938/39. Prior to this, the only method of crossing between platforms was by a barrow crossing at end of the old platforms. The dark patches on the tracks either side of the independent disc signal mark the site of this crossing (see 'gwrb545' and 'gwrb770a' to see the station before the improvements).
