Looking north towards Birmingham with the new four platform
layout now well advanced by 1961. Platform 1 remained more or less on its
original alignment although it was extended further towards Birmingham past the
site of the old parcel bay, under the new Warwick Road bridge and slightly into
the goods yard area. This extension was much later shortened when the later
electric hauled trains decreased from 12 and 14 coaches to 7 or 8 albeit longer
coaches. This change was made to accommodate a smoother path through the
points. The line of the old track into platform 1 is still evident in this
photograph although the old Warwick Road bridge has now gone.
