Vauxhall & Duddeston: lnwrvd1505

The original Grand Junction Railway's temporary terminus. It would appear that the bridge in the distance is carrying Duddeston Road. The fact that the artist did not know too much about railways can be seen by the fact that there are FIVE rails shared between two sets of tracks on the right with a suspicion the same is true for the tracks on the left.

However it can be assumed that the platform in the middle was for railway workers rather than passengers being too narrow to accommodate the hustle and bustle of arriving or departing traffic. The platform on the right might be used for passengers with the lower height compared to the left hand platform being more due to the artist's interpretation than fact.
