LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Brandon and Wolston: lnwrbw2826

Schematic plan dated 8th September 1902 showing the goods yard and sidings at Brandon & Wolston station

Schematic plan dated 8th September 1902 showing the goods yard and sidings at Brandon & Wolston station. Up to 1903 the goods yard off the up line was connected to the siding off the down line via two wagon turntables with a short section of inter-connecting track passing through both running lines by means of a square crossing. Preston Hendry and Powell Hendry state in LMS Stations Volume One 'that such an archaic arrangement on the main line was remarkable, especially as the LNWR had been suppressing such connections on country branches in the late 1880s'.
