Скачать или смотреть Season 8, Episode 348 - Trains at Duddeston station

it's a day on the Cross City Line with a total of eight stations for the day and the first of those brings us to the only station not done on the north side of the line in Duddeston

Duddeston opened in 1837 as Vauxhall station, the temporary Birmingham terminus of the Grand Junction Railway from Warrington. When the permanent terminus at Curzon Street opened in 1839, Vauxhall became a goods-only station until it was rebuilt and re-opened in 1869 under the LNWR. It was renamed Vauxhall and Duddeston in 1889. In 1941 it was hit by a bomb during a night raid and was destroyed. It was rebuilt in a temporary fashion, and in the mid-1950s it caught fire and was subsequently rebuilt. It was renamed Duddeston on 6th May 1974. The entrance and ticket hall are over the tracks, on the Duddeston Mill Road bridge. The former Midland Railway line to Derby is nearby. Adjacent are railway sheds that were once used for industrial purposes. They are now disused and the entrance has been blocked to prevent trespassing. A shed on the opposite side of the station to the remaining sheds has been demolished and its site is wasteland. The station has two island platforms serving four tracks, but only one island platform remains in use; the other has fallen into disrepair. The remaining platform features artwork on black metal backgrounds.

Nowadays, in this video, we see a variety of London Midland stock heading for a variety of destinations including Lichfield Trent Valley, Tame Bridge Parkway, Wolverhampton, Redditch and Longbridge
