A 1950s view of the platform facing Redditch showing the ex-L&Y coach now re-clad with T&G boarding

A 1950s view of the platform facing Redditch showing the ex-L&YR coach now re-clad with T&G boarding due to its poor external condition. The station name board is the third variation of sign used at the station since it opened some seventy-five years earlier. The once busy yard is now a pale shadow of itself due to a loss of traffic resulting from both the opening of the 1942 southern connection and the competition from the increase in road transport. Whereas the station staff once took pride in their station and planted floral displays, the station now looks unloved and very forlorn.
