Selly Oak Birmingham 1975
A Peak Class diesel is working hard on a Northeast to Southwest expess (1V71 to Penzance) as it crosses the viaduct over the canal & Bristol Road. Queen Elizabeth Hospital forms the backdrop.
The telephoto lens emphasises the gradient up to Selly Oak station on the West Suburban Branch from Birmingham New Street to Kings Norton. This line was originally single track but quickly established itself as a main line rather than a branch after doubling.
By 1975 the Midland Railway station was unmanned & uncared for. The glass in the platform awning had gone & the buildings were derelict. Not long afterwards in 1978 the whole historic lot was swept away & a modern brick & plastic replacement built. No doubt an improvement on the dereliction but not on the 1876 original which if renovated instead of demolished would have been very much better.
Selly Oak station became part of the Cross City Line from Lichfield to Redditch & was electrified in 1993. The structure on the left is the roof over the staircase which lead to the subway over to the Down platform. This has been replaced by a footbridge.
Selly Oak Station Birmingham Summer 1974
Built by the Midland Railway in 1876 Selly Oak station in the southern surburbs was unmanned & uncared for in 1974. Still served by dmus from New Street to Redditch the NE-SW expresses hauled by Peaks swept through the station at speed.
This view is looking back southwards from the drive down to Bristol Road. The glass in the platform awning had gone, the roof slates were missing & the buildings derelict. From a 2007 perspective there is surprisingly little graffitti - perhaps kids couldn't afford spray cans in those days!
