170512 & 170508, LN 10.27 Birmingham New Street-Walsall (2A12, 6L), Duddeston station Taken in tricky conditions holding the camera in one hand and my umbrella in the other 170512 and 170508 arrive at Duddesdon station working the 10.27 Birmingham New Street to Walsall service. Despite its rather austere and bare look, Duddeston station was once a significant one. Originally named Vauxhall, a name it carried until 1974, the station was opened in 1837 as the temporary Birmingham terminus of the Grand Junction Railway from Warrington. When the permanent terminus at Curzon Street opened in 1839, that is to become the terminus for HS2, Vauxhall became a goods-only station until it was rebuilt and re-opened in 1869 by the LNWR. It was renamed Vauxhall and Duddeston in 1889. During an air raid in 1941, it received a direct hit and was destroyed being re-built to then burn down in 1955. The present station dates from this time but little remains apart from the entrance hall, ticket office and steps down to the platforms.
