LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Harvington Station: mrhv574a

This close up of image 'mrhv574' shows the passing loop and loading gauge in greater detail. The raised stage for the tablet exchange can be seen on the right and has been provided with a lamppost to aid the operation during the night. The ground signal controlling traffic bound for Evesham is seen in the foreground but this side has the colour sequence reversed (see image 'mrhv572'), a dark background with a light coloured arm. This aided the driver to know which direction the signal was controlling when viewed at night or in poor weather. The equivalent disc signal controlling access from the loop line to the running for Redditch can be seen in the distance.
