When I took these photos one of the old platform buildings was still standing:-


The building was in a very poor state of repair (ie: falling down...)


But you could still tell what it used to be:-

Inside was in a very poor state - not sure I would have wanted to wait in here....

Don't think it is a false memory, it was at Barnt Green that I first witnessed the passing of the token as the train went on to the Redditch branch, engine driver also took a pot of tea out to the signal man. Probably 1965ish, steam train, lecture at Redditch college. Later it became my local station with access to the cross city line.

I remember going through Barnt Green station in the 50's when we used to travel by train from Birmingham to Evesham to stay with my Nan for holidays.
