Birmingham New Street - Southern Approaches: lnwrbhm_sa2314

Looking towards Vauxhall viaduct from Grand Junction signal cabin with Banbury Street Wharf on the left

Looking towards Vauxhall viaduct from Grand Junction signal cabin with Banbury Street Wharf on the left. The line on the extreme left is the headshunt for Banbury Street, the light coloured shape at the extreme left is the concreted in stop block which can be more clearly seen in image 'lnwrbhm_sa2320b'. To its right, the next two lines are the ex-Midland Railway's route to Derby crossing beneath the main Birmingham to Euston lines behind the photographer. Next to these, again on the right are the main lines between Birmingham to Euston. The junction seen on the right provides up trains from New Street with a more direct route as well as allowing traffic to and from Curzon Street to gain access to lines to Coventry and also to Gloucester.
