Aston Station: lnwra3631
A four-car Gloucester RC&W class 100 DMU draws to a halt
on a down service to Walsall circa 1961-62. The steel catenary for the
electrification of the route can just be seen at the end of the station.
Overhead power meant that the distinctive canopies has to be cut back which, in
parallel to the installation of new colour signalling, left the station looking
very utilitarian. To the right on the building end is a poster for the
Cinephore cinema, this stood on Bristol Road and specialised in "adult" films
although as Geoff Dowling states. 'nothing that cannot be seen on television
today'.
