The West end of New Street station's Platform 8, the side of the original Platform 5 which handled local traffic, with the passenger footbridge in the middle distance. The number of parcel trollies on Platform 7 illustrates the amount of mail and parcel traffic that was at one time carried on scheduled passenger services. In the distance above the DMU is New Street No 4 Signal Box whilst standing on the centre road is an unidentified ex-LMS 4-6-0 standing ready to take forward an incoming passenger service.
