GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Bordesley Shed: gwrbg-shed1963

Schematic showing Bordesley shed's original three road broad gauge carriage shed and the two road narrow gauge extension. During the broad gauge (7 foot 0¼ inches) period, the 4 foot 8½ inch standard gauge employed elsewhere, was described by the GWR and associated companies for political reasons as being narrow gauge. Sketched by RS Potts in 1997 for the Broad Gauge Society's Magazine, the above elevation was part of a drawing (the other part being 'gwrbg-shed1960') notes that the original drawing was prepared in the Engineers Office at Paddington and were signed ER for CS, traced at Fluyder Street.
