Close up of image 'lnwrns1671' showing the Midland line to
Leicester crossing the Trent Valley at the bottom of the photograph and the
branch to Ashby curving away to the right. The sidings between the line
connecting to the Trent Valley line and the line to Leicester were designed to
accommodate long mineral trains. Its not known whether these sidings were used
as exchange sidings between the LNWR and Midland in the days before grouping in
1923. However since the 1860s the Midland did have running rights to Coventry
over LNWR lines where it had a goods shed in the LNWR goods yard so its more
likely that exchange traffic between the companies would have taken place at
the LNWR's more extensive facilities.
