GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Wood End Station: gwrwe519

Looking towards Wood End Tunnel that leads to Stratford Upon Avon. The up platform buildings on the right consisted of two structures, the larger one housing the booking hall and gents whilst the smaller one was the waiting room. The down platform had just the one structure, used for the waiting room, and was of a similar size to the up platform's waiting room.

Because the station was in a cutting the buildings were recessed into the bank to reduce the amount of excavation that would have otherwise been required. Note the concrete footbridge which is extended to the side of the bank to provide access from the lane to both platforms. The footbridge is similar to the second footbridge seen at a Danzey for Tanworth.
