Rotton Park Road railway station was a railway station in England, built by the Harborne Railway and operated by the London and North Western Railway in 1874. It served Summerfield and part of the Edgbaston area of Birmingham and was located near to the junction of Rotton Park Road and Gillott Road. Initially single track, the steady growth in traffic meant that a passing loop was installed in 1903, when a spur to Mitchells & Butlers Brewery was also added.〔Railway Magazine October 1950 p. 652〕 However, from the beginning of the 20th century, the introduction of road transport, especially Birmingham Corporation Tramways, caused passenger numbers to fall away.〔Preston Hendry, R., Powell Hendry, R., (1982) ''An historical survey of selected LMS stations : layouts and illustrations. Vol. 2'' Oxford Publishing〕 The station closed in 1934, and there is little evidence of the station on the ground today. The trackbed through the station is now part of the Harborne Nature Walk. ==References== *(Rail Around Birmingham and the West Midlands: Rotton Park Road railway station ) *(Warwickshire Railways: Rotton Park Road Station ) *(Birmingham City Council Harborne Railway ) *(Photos by D J Norton ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rotton Park Road railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
