3660 1957-06 Earlswood Lakes

‘57xx’ No.3660 from Tyseley pauses at Earlswood Lakes in June 1957 with a train for Stratford.
The station was at the highest point of the line between Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon. The long incline from the south required heavily loaded trains to be piloted from Stratford Upon Avon. The main station facilities including the Booking Office were situated in the Down platform building and it had a goods yard which remained open until July 1964.
