LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Barnt Green: mrbg626
View of the 1894 Barnt Green Single Line signal box which was
sited on the same side as the up platform. The first signalbox controlling the
junction was opened in 1883 when the line was single immediately from the
Gloucester & Birmingham Railway main line. When the Redditch branch was
doubled for 350 yards the signalbox needed to be moved nearer Redditch by 350
yards. The line was initially controlled by train staff and ticket between
Barnt Green and Redditch but from 20th September 1891 electric train tablet
working was adopted. This signalbox remained operational until 7th
September.
