LMS Route: Evesham to Birmingham

Northfield Station: mrn769

View of Northfield station schematic diagram showing the location of Northfield goods yard and Hawkesley Mill sidings. The diagram shows that most of the crossovers were trailing meaning that the train would need to reverse to cross from one line to another. This was a safety precaution as points with the blade facing a locomotive could in exceptional circumstances be forced apart thereby derailing the train.
