LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham
Alcester Station: mra461
As a wartime measure the single track Great Western Branch
to Alcester was closed on 1st January 1917 and the track removed for use
elsewhere. The branch was reopened again in 1923. This photograph taken during
the closure period, from adjacent to the MR junction, shows the branch track
bed and Alcester Road bridge. This red brick arched bridge carried the A435
(formerly Icknield Street) over the railway on a skewed alignment. Only the
junction pointwork remains.
