Close up of image 'mrbg619' showing the remodelled junction
layout and the new extended sidings in the goods yard. Bob Essery states 'the
pointwork is worth more than a passing glance; note how the connection from the
up main line to the up goods line is separate from the connection from the
Evesham branch to the up goods line. There is also a trailing crossover from
the up to the down main line' but Bob doubts if this saw much use. When
comparing the location of the signalbox on the left with earlier views (see
image 'mrbg618a') the replacement signalbox appears
to have been built immediately to the left of the old signalbox. This
presumably was because the old signalbox fouled the new up goods line yet its
overall location was ideal for overseeing the junction and goods yard.
