LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Barnt Green: mrbg146a

This close up of image 'mrbg146' shows the pre-quadrupling junction with the Redditch branch which is on the left beyond the Birmingham to Bristol route's down platform. On the left can be seen an up refuge siding used by goods trains to allow the faster passenger services to pass them by. The main station building is situated in the vee where the Birmingham to Bristol down platform meets the up Redditch to Birmingham platform. The Birmingham to Bristol down platform's waiting room is on the left before the main station building. Whilst the Birmingham to Bristol up platform's waiting room can just be seen beyond the footbridge which, as can be seen, span both sets of tracks with steps from the down platform rising from just behind the main station building. The barrow crossing to the up platform also continued right to connect with the down platform on the Redditch branch. The turntable used by locomotives not working beyond Barnt Green would have been sited on the right before the main station building at approximately the position of the small trees.
