LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Hazelwell Station: mrhaz831

Looking towards Lifford from the Camp Hill end of Hazelwell Station's up platform on 19th August 1929

Looking towards Lifford from the Camp Hill end of Hazelwell Station's up platform on 19th August 1929. Whilst reasonably tidy the station has signs that it is not used overly much in the inter war years. On the up platform there is evidence of grass growing on the surface. After the First World War, stations near to Birmingham City centre found it increasingly difficult to compete against public transport. Trams were more frequent, faster and cheaper whilst the introduction of buses meant the introduction of multiple routes without the need to provide any further infrastructure - rails and overhead electricity.
