LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Evesham Station: mre1335

Looking south towards Ashchurch with the goods yard and siding on the left and the main station building on the right circa 1962. This view shows the top of the signal post with the platform provided for the maintenance of the signal. The most common requirement being the removal of the oil lamp, which lit the signal's coloured lenses at night, in order to trim the wick and top up the oil. It was a requirement that the lamp be brought down to carry out this work but inevitably it was carried out in-situ by the responsible member of staff in order to speed up the work.
