GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Birmingham Snow Hill Station: gwrbsh1183

Another official view of Snow Hill station's main up platform taken from the Wolverhampton end of Platform 7 shortly after opening. This view shows that in addition to the scissors crossover between the through and platform lines a trailing crossover from the up through to the down through lines existed just inside the station's train shed. The length of the second station built in 1871 and replaced by this station was in fact the size seen above, from the photographer to the over footbridge in the distance. C1911
