LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Kings Norton Station: mrkn782a

Station staff pose for the camera on Norton station's up platform whilst moving milk churns. The staff appear to be moving the milk churn with a two wheel sack trolley and not with a barrow as seen standing on the left. The sack trolly would be more stable with two wheels and it had been designed so that it could be inserted under the milk churn without too much effort. The station sign is different to the standard MR design which had two faces set at an oblique angle so that the name could be viewed from either direction (see 'mrbj537'. The one above appears to be in two sections, each accommodating one of the two words making up the station's name.
