GWR Route: Alcester to Bearley

Alcester Station (MR): gwra474

Alcester Junction on 28th February 1953 with the GWR Bearley Branch curving off to the right behind the engine shed and the MR line to Redditch straight ahead to the left. Both lines where single track, but a double track junction was constructed with the double track extending the short distance past the goods yard into Alcester Station.

The original MR Alcester Junction Signal Box was located behind where the 64 milepost is sited. Built in 1876, this Signal Box controlled the junction and engine shed points and associated signals. The LMS constructed one new Signal Box to replace both the Alcester Junction and Alcester Station Signal Boxes in April 1932.
