Poster - Blythe Bridge Station
It has long been a tradition for the railways to display posters advertising attractions that can be reached by their services. It still continues and this poster on Blythe Bridge station tells passengers for Uttoxeter racecourse to alight at Uttoxeter - the next station to the east. Unfortunately during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis horseracing, in common with other sports, has had to take place behind closed doors but at the time of this photograph the hope was that normality would return soon.
