Pages from the Great Western Railway Internal Telephone Directory of November 1930 giving details of the eighty direct extensions numbers from the Telephone Exchange on Snow Hill Station Up platform to telephones at Snow Hill Station, Moor Street Station and Hockley Goods Depot. In the Great Western Railway Magazine for August 1913 it was reported that the Company had authorised the provision of a combination multiple switchboard giving access to both the railway and public telephone services with extension lines to all departments at Hockley and Birmingham stations. A trunk line was already in existence between Paddington and Birmingham so this gave general intercommunication between these two places. See 'gwrbsh3008' and 'gwrbsh3007' for more detail.
