LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Camp Hill Station: mrch359

An Edwardian view of Camp Hill Station looking towards Brighton Road with the down platform on the left. This view shows how the up platform (all lines to Derby on the MR were classified as up) was narrowed where the platform crossed Highgate Road. The slope of the platform led to the porters barrow crossing for passengers and luggage to reach the down platform. This unusual feature was installed because the platform behind the photographer ceased abruptly due to the existence of the bridge over Montpellier Street preventing the installation of the barrow crossing at the end of the platform.
