GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch
Bearley Station: gwrb783a
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).
