LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Barnt Green: mrbg614
An Edwardian view of the station taken from the Bristol to
Birmingham's up platform looking south as a southbound train departs the down
platform. The junction with the Redditch branch was originally single line
opening to passenger traffic on 19th September 1859 with goods traffic
commencing 1st October 1859. The Redditch branch was doubled for the first 350
yards and both the footbridge and Redditch down platform were added at the same
time. The absence of the goods lines on the Barnt Green to Birmingham, which
were built in the 1930s, meant only one home signal was required from the
branch.
