GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Solihull Station: gwrs2306
GWR Guard Denstone, wearing his frock coat, walks back to
his guard van ready to wave the train off circa 1900. The two gentlemen are
noted on the rear of the postcard as being 'two Solihull worthies'. Whether
this is true or not is unknown but what is apparent is that the coach is a
Third Class carriage. The communication cord is visible running in eyelets
along the outside of the carriage on the gutter line. The station porter is
walking along the carriages checking that the slam shut doors are closed with
the handles in their correct position.
