GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Acocks Green & South Yardley Station: gwrag19b

Close up of image 'gwrag19' showing Acocks Green station's main island platform with the down main platform nearest the camera and the up platform the other side. The main platforms were utilised by the lines emanating from Snow Hill station whilst the relief lines led to Moor Street which had been opened in 1909 to reduce traffic in to Snow Hill station. This meant that local passenger services to and from Stratford upon Avon and Henley could run in to Moor Street without crossing the main lines from Snow Hill to Paddington.
