LMS Route: Leamington to Weedon

Flecknoe Station: lnwrflek1315

The Station master, Mr. Trigger, poses for the camera at Flecknoe Station in the early 1900s. The station only required the one platform as no passing loop had been installed although, as can be seen above, the line had throughout its length been constructed to allow the laying of a second track. It was also provided with a short goods siding with head shunt as seen above.

The oil lamps were of the same pattern as those seen at Napton & Stockton albeit the brackets were of a different type. The presence of the raised roof light at the far end of the station building indicates the location of the gent's toilets. Next to the gents is a hut with peak roof at right angles to the track. It is thought that this was used as part of the goods and parcel service, the goods yard being at the end of the platform.
