GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Grimes Hill & Wythall Platform: gwrgh88

Looking towards Stratford upon Avon showing the additional building erected on the up platform and the booking office on Norton Road

Looking towards Stratford upon Avon showing the additional building erected on the up platform and the booking office on Norton Road circa 1935. The extra facilities are thought to have reflected the growth of commuter traffic into Birmingham as the facilities are on the up platform. The existence of the booking office on Norton Road would also mean that the Halt has become a manned to cope with the expansion of passengers. The original oil lampposts have been removed and replaced by tall paraffin vapour lighting suspended from the tall posts.
