LMS Route: Water Orton to Walsall

Streetley Station: mrst339a

This close up of image 'mrst339' shows the station building was built to a similar design to those at Penns and Streetly in that it had the two outside sections of the building were set forward to the centre portion. In this view this centre portion appears to have a canopy suspended between the two "wings" whilst single storey extensions exist on both sides.

The relaying of the track under the ballast train has also led to sleepers with chairs fitted being placed along the platform's length. The use of 3 plank wagons, most appear to be empty, was to aid the discharging of them by hand. The six wheel carriage next to the Guards van was to provide the P & W crew with mess facilities during the occupation of the line.
