View of Tyseley Station's down relief platform with a GWR steam railcar standing at the platform waiting for the right way to Moor Street circa 1908. Whilst in later years the opposite line on the same island platform was the up relief, when the station first opened it was the down main line and remained such until 1913 when the lines were swapped over. The covered passenger staircase was deliberately designed to land on the platform immediately under the platform canopy thereby ensuring that passengers were fully protected from inclement weather.
