Looking towards the Birmingham end of the up platform which shows the middle section of the modified station train shed being demolished. The new station canopies which replaced the original structure were significantly larger as well as being a better design to protect passengers from he elements. John Copsey writes 'The up platform was 650 ft in length, of which 360 ft was under cover, whilst the down platform 670 ft with 480 ft covered. Up and down bay platforms were provided at the west (Warwick) end of the station for Stratford and Birmingham services'. C1937-8
