GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Yardley Wood Station: gwryw525a

In this close up of image 'gwryw525' we can see that unusually, for stations on this line, the Booking Office was at road level. The GWR also provided a waiting room at road level despite there being one on each platform. One assumes this was for the peace of mind of passengers, particularly ladies, who felt more secure next to the manned Booking Office. Entry was via steps from either side of the bridge to both platforms.
