Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Bordesley Railway Junction, Birmingham. In the early 80's trains from Stratford Upon Avon and Leamington Spa regularly terminated at Birmingham New Street to connect with services elsewhere. To do so, it was necessary to take the sharp turns through Bordesley Junction, and St Andrews Junction before reaching the eastern approaches to New Street 1608927.
Bordesley was once a major marshalling yards. This photo shows a defunct goods yard building (on left), Camp Hill elevated section, (route to Moseley and Kings Heath) and the city skyline in the background. The church you can see is Holy Trinity Church, just off the A41 roundabout. The Great Western Railway route from Birmingham south was once 4 tracks at this point, and all the way to Tyseley. Bordesley station, just beyond the elevated section, was principally open at this time on Saturdays for Blues fans to commute from. |
