GWR stations and trains

This view along the platforms towards Birmingham shows that the first twenty five years of its life was kinder than the next twenty five years. The station is still well kept, platforms clean and tidy and flower beds well looked after. The Second World War changed everything. Initially because of the shortage of manpower and money latterly because of the difficulties of attracting staff in competition to better paid jobs in the factories.
