GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Yardley Wood Platform: gwryw530a
Close up of image 'gwryw530' showing the down platform
waiting room which accommodated only a general waiting room and toilets, the
Gentlemen's being via side entrance. The canopy to the structure is the
conventional cantilevered type seen on most secondary structures on the line.
The lack of furniture and posters indicates that the line was probably not
fully open when this view was taken. The platform's hardstanding was to the
standard GWR specification, paved at the platform edge and full width in front
of the buildings with compacted gravel used every where else. The frequency of
lampposts was a little unusual indicating that the GWR were concerned to ensure
that passengers felt safe at the station
