GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Honeybourne
Long Marston Station: gwrlm484a
Close up of image 'gwrlm484' showing the most obvious visual
change to the station, the steps of the signal box being moved nearer to the
line to accommodate a toilet for the signalman. As part of this facility was
the erection of a stench pipe outside and painted in matching colours. The
signal box is presumed to have had the benefit of electrical lighting as there
is evidence of electrical trunking and junction boxes above the arched window
of the station building. Seen in the earliest photographs is the lamp fixed to
the corner at 45 degrees to the signal box providing lighting to the pedestrian
crossing adjacent to the crossing gates.
