Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_str1866a

Close up showing the top of the steps to Western section of Platform 1 with a signalman standing on duty at New Street No 3 Signal Cabin

Close up of image 'lnwrbns_str1866' showing the top of the steps to Western section of Platform 1 with a signalman standing on duty at New Street No 3 Signal Cabin. The signalman is obviously observing the arrival or departure of a train because six minutes earlier (note the time on the clock) in image 'lnwrbns_str1865a' he and another member of staff were paying more attention to the photographer than the trains. In the distance on Platform 3 and to the right of the station building housing the restaurant is a small Police Hut overseeing the arrival of handsome cabs on Queens Drive.
