25th May 1963
This is the Redditch/Ashchurch side of Barnt Green station on 25 May 1963, a Metro-Cammell unit has just arrived from Redditch and Ivatt 4MT 43122 is heading in the opposite direction. The fine footbridge survived, albeit altered, until October 2015 but the electrification to Bromsgrove has finally seen it off. The little waiting room on the far left has gone, did it really need a chimney that big? The main station building has also gone, today we are left with the usual skimpy bus shelters. Image taken by Peter Shoesmith. Geoff Dowling and John Whitehouse Collection.

In refurbished white with blue stripe livery, a Derby built Class 116 three-car DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50851 leading (TS508 presumably also contains 59376 + 50904), was passing over Barnt Green Junction as it diverged from the former Midland Railway Birmingham to Bristol main line with a Four Oaks to Redditch service on September 5th 1981. The short Redditch branch is 4.73 Miles in length from its junction at Barnt Green. Martyn Hilbert.

16th August 1986
Set: TS632
Barnt Green station is the junction on the main Birmingham to Gloucester line where the branch to Alvechurch and Redditch, and formerly Evesham, diverges. On Saturday 16 August 1986 I was standing on the site of the old Goods Yard when a 6 car DMU came from the Birmingham direction with a New Street to Barry Island train formed of Tyseley's T632 (presumably 51308 + 59475 + 51323) and another suburban unit with a centre car from a different class; far from unusual at this time. Peter Tandy.
16th August 1986
Set: TS512
Barnt Green is the junction for the Redditch branch, the line for which curves sharply away from the Birmingham to Bristol line. Line occupation, especially in the summer, meant that trains from Redditch often had quite a wait in the platform until Saltley Power Box found them a path, especially if they were a minute or two late arriving. The usual class 116 (TS512, presumably 53063 + 59717 + 53119) is shown here on 16 August 1986 waiting at the signal before heading off to Lichfield City via Birmingham New Street. Peter Tandy.
