GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Whitlocks End Halt: gwrwe666

Looking towards Birmingham with Whitlock End Halt's up platform on the left and Tilehouse Lane road bridge in the distance

Looking towards Birmingham with Whitlock End Halt's up platform on the left and Tilehouse Lane road bridge in the distance. Access to each of the Halt's two platforms was via a path running along the top of each embankment between Tilehouse Lane which was located immediately at one end of the Halt and Houndsfield Lane which was some distance away at the other end. From each of the paths were two sloping diagonal paths leading down to the either the up or down platforms. One path was angled in the direction of Houndsfield Lane and the other in the direction of Tilehouse Lane. For reasons unknown the two sets of sloping diagonal paths were not laid out symmetrically with the sloping diagonal paths to the up platform being nearer to the Houndsfield end of the platform. The two sloping paths to the down platform were at the Tilehouse Lane end of the platform with one path being direct from the Lane itself as seen in image 'gwrwe1119'.
