LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Marston Green: lnwrmg717

Looking towards Coventry with the up platform on the left. The goods yard is beyond the station and level crossing. Due to the station being built much later than TileHill the platforms were constructed opposite each other rather than staggered across the level crossing.

The signal is a little unusual being cantilevered towards the track. There are no sighting issues so why a conventional signal wasn't used is unknown. The country feel to the station is reinforced by the fields and trees in an rear that within a few years was surrounded by housing and a nearby airfield. C1930s
