LMS Route: Grand Junction Railway
Great Barr Station: lnwrgb62a
This close up of image 'lnwrgb62' whilst of poor quality
does show some interesting features which supports the view that the original
station was staggered in its configuration. The height difference between the
old up platform on the right and the new up platform adjacent to it can easily
be seen. Compare this height to the down platform opposite on the left which is
visibly lower than the new platform.
In addition, in shadow under the archway can be seen a
barrow crossing which passengers would have used crossing between the two
platforms. The new station structure being built is to the LNWR's standard late
19th century design being a timber framed building with timber cladding.
