GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Leamington Spa - New Station: gwrls876

Looking across to the up platform with GWR No 2 diesel rail-car standing in the bay. The passenger footbridge is still standing prior to its demolition being replaced by the original station subway. John Copsey writes that in 1937 a new diesel-car service from Worcester commenced which 'worked into Leamington once each morning, twice during the afternoon and once again in the evening'. John also informs his readers that during the war the services to Stratford upon Avon had by 1943 returned to the same level as in September 1939 but were now worked by two such rail-cars.
