GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Solihull Station: gwrs274

Panoramic view along the Down Main platform of Solihull station after rebuilding and looking in the direction of Leamington Spa. Interestingly, whilst the stations on the newly quadrupled section of the route were built at the same time there were a number of design differences. Unlike Widney Manor and Knowle and Dorridge this station has two island platforms, the two lines visible in the photo between the island platforms are the Down Main and the Up Relief. The platform edging used here is paved with brick facing, the same as Knowle and Dorridge, and did not use timber as was the case at Widney Manor.
