A 1939 Ordnance Survey map showing the junction and connecting line from Sanctus Road to the East & West Junction station. The former SMJ carriage and wagon sidings can be seen running parallel to the SMJ line to Broom whist the station and shed is on the right. The exchange line was double track as it passed the SMJ goods yard and warehouses. The GWR entitled their station 'Stratford-on-Avon whereas the SMJ/MR/LMS used Stratford-upon-Avon, this different usage is still found today vis-a-vis Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Stratford-upon-Avon Town Council.
