GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hatton Station: gwrhj103
A general view of station looking towards Warwick taken in
about 1933 with the main station facilities on the up platform on the left. The
new 84 lever platform type South Signal Box was constructed on the island
platform this side of the footbridge in January 1937. The platform lighting was
still oil lamps at this time and the change in platform edging in the
foreground on the left indicates where the platform ended prior to it being
extended towards the road bridge (behind the photographer) in May 1892. The
original South Signal Box can be seen in the distance beyond the end of the
island platform. The branch platform bay line (on the right) was worked as a
single line between the Middle and South boxes without the protection of a
single line token or an acceptance lever.
