LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Evesham Station: mre557
View of the southern approaches from Ashchurch with LMS designed
2-6-0 4MT Ivatt Mogul No 43046 bringing forward empty coaching stock into the
station to form the 12 20pm Evesham to Birmingham New Street local passenger
service. The running lines on the right are the former GWR lines to Worcester
whilst the lines on the left crossing the bridge proceeded on to Ashchurch. To
the right is the BR built signal box constructed in 1957 as part of the track
modifications which provided a connection between the two routes. In the apex
of the junction can be seen the former GWR locomotive shed. Built at Horwich
works in October 1949 Bo 43046 remained in service until withdrawn from Lostock
Hall shed in November 1967 for scrapping by the Motherwell Machinery &
Scrap Co based at Inshaw Works in February 1968.
