LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Barnt Green: mrbg618

This Edwardian view of the original up platform shows the track layout to the north of the junction. On the left is a station sign declaring 'Barnt Green junction for Redditch and Evesham' in white lettering on an ultramarine blue background. The fencing is not the standard MR slopping pattern nor is the same as the iron railings adopted for the 1894 Redditch down platform suggesting it might have a Gloucester & Birmingham Railway heritage. On the right are two sidings with one providing access to the freshly painted cattle dock. The platform, signal box and waiting room on the left were all swept away by the quadrupling of the tracks in 1930.
