SP0482 : Selly Oak Station

taken 45 years ago, near to Selly Oak, Birmingham, England

Selly Oak Station
Taken on the approach to the station on 'to-Birmingham' side, during the earliest reincarnation of the station. Notice the platform roof on other platform is incomplete. Like other stations during the early cross-city services, building works were either incomplete or completed in stages.

Selly Oak station amazingly before the new service had only a handful of services in either direction. I seem to remember also that the old station (before demolition) had an underpass to cross between platforms, and the old buildings still had remnants of the Midland Railway colours (amazing).
