GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Birmingham Snow Hill: gwrbsh75b

Close up showing the notice board advertising the platforms and common destinations. The ornate board to the left has GWR 'The Holiday Line' painted on the top whilst one of the posters advertises fares to London being First Class 7/6 and Third Class 5/6 (Seven Shillings and Sixpence and Five Shillings and Sixplence respectively). Clearly it was though that First Class passenger fares were too cheap as the fare increased to 8/6 (Eight Shillings and Sixpence) within a short period of time as was evident in image 'gwrbsh565a'.
