A quiet Tyseley Station on the sunny afternoon of Tuesday 17th May 1932. This view was taken from the Birmingham end of the Relief line’s island platform. The two lines seen here are; the Down Main on the left and Up Relief on the right. Half of both the five hundred foot long island platforms were covered with wide canopies which gave protection from the weather to the platform edges. Under each canopy were the various station facilities including a General and Ladies Waiting Room plus separate Gentlemen and Ladies Lavatories. The Booking Hall, Ticket Office and Parcels Office were in the building on the bridge at road level.
