LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna48b

Close up of image 'mrna48' looking through the road bridge's opening towards the MR sailings on the right of which lay the MR goods shed. 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. C1950s
