Close up of image 'mrna48' looking through the over bridge
carrying the Midland Road over the railway to join Tuttle Hill which lies to
the left. An unidentified ex-LNWR 0-8-0 locomotive stands on a connecting road
adjacent to the goods shed which is on the right out of view of the
photographer. The line curving away to the right of the signal box is the line
for Leicester and would start to climb in order to pass over the top of the
Trent Valley line. The tracks to the left of the signal box was the Ashby &
Nuneaton joint line. Pete Lee in his book 'The Railways of Nuneaton and
Bedworth' recounts that the barrow crossing was not the official method of
crossing between platforms. Unless needing assistance, when the station staff
would assist, all passengers were expected to use the steps and the road bridge
to cross over.
