LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Redditch Station: mrred1381a

Close up showing the steps of the passenger footbridge sited at the northern end of Redditch station

Close up of image 'mrred1381' showing the steps of the passenger footbridge sited at the northern end of Redditch station. Whereas the station staff would use the barrow crossing across the tracks, in particular to move luggage via carts or porter's barrows, passengers had to use the footbridge. In the distance through the road bridge, the footbridge used to cross the railway from Bridge Street to Windsor Street can be seen. The water column had been strategically located so that the crew could top up with water whilst waiting at the platform. The water for this and other water columns in the area was drawn from a reservoir located in the goods yard.
