GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Leamington Spa Station: gwrls865b
This close up of image 'gwrls865' shows the ticket inspector's
booth next to the exit to the staircase leading down to the subway. On the
opposite side of the column is another ticket inspector's booth whilst to the
windows to the rear provided natural lighting to the staircase. To the right of
the second inspector's booth are train indicator fingerboards stored vertically
in their box. This form of train information was common to all companies and
lasted in general use until the early 1950s. For a clear example of the train
indicator fingerboard system (albeit by the LMS) see image 'lnwrcov589a'. To
the right of the original structure is a free standing short canopy erected to
provide additional protection to passengers.
