Looking back from the turntable towards the now disused passenger station now being used by the Chad Valley Company. The turntable was locked from the signal cabin and the driver communicated with the signalman by using a whistle code; one crow to withdraw the locking bolt; two codes for inserting the locking block. The turntable was lifted in 1947 and according to Steven Robertson in his article The Harborne Branch in LMS Journal No 3 was replaced by a loading dock for sand traffic.
