GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Leamington Spa Station: gwrls2129
Looking south towards Banbury with Leamington South Signal Box
in the middle distance circa 1952. The photograph shows the 1947 modifications
undertaken to remove the loading dock bay which had been installed at the
London end of the down platform since the station first opened in 1852. This
required the platform face to be built forward in parallel with the down line
thereby allowing trains heading north to use all of the platform effectively
lengtheningthe platform by 70 yards. See image 'gwrls2126' for a view of the spur prior to its
removal.
