GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Bordesley Station: gwrbg1086a
Close up of image 'gwrbg1086' showing the main up and down
platforms with the odd extension that accommodated the stairs to Coventry Road
at this end of the building. The station was not inhibited by a need to
minimise weight as was built using the same materials as standard GWR stations.
The viaduct was built to accommodate the weight of many trains and therefore
was more than adequate in carrying the load of the station. Had it been built
on an embankment then the station would have been built with timber framed and
clad buildings and platforms.
