Passenger operations at Birmingham Snow Hill
p.422
In this issue we commence a study of passenger services at another of the Great Western's major stations, Birmingham Snow Hill. In fact, it is a story of the three stations constructed on that site, the last of which remained functional for as long as the first two together. In this first part, we shall study the first two stations and the traffic they served, pausing the story as the major rebuilding of the lines around Birmingham was under way, with the third station under construction.
