GWR Route: Hatton to Bearley and Alcester Branch

Bearley Station: gwrb781a

Close up of showing the new trailing cross-over beyond the road bridge and other more temporary connections

This close up of image 'gwrb781' shows the new trailing cross-over beyond the road bridge and other more temporary connections on the trackwork towards Hatton in March 1939. It appears that the original single line to Hatton (on the left) is being relaid, following establishment of the new down running line, while the track on the right is the replacement refuge siding. Double track working commenced on the section between Bearley and Hatton on 2nd July 1939.
