Looking towards Water Orton where the Midland separated, one route to Tamworth and then on to Derby whilst the other continued on to Nuneaton and Leicester. The island platform was well equipped with waiting rooms and booking office reflecting when first built in 1854, and even later when rebuilt, it had a much higher level of usage. The canal wharf was behind the buildings seen on the left and beyond the running line by about 150 yards. In the distance, beyond the signal box, was the bridge carrying the ex-LNWR line from Aston to Stetchford. A spur linking the ex-LNWR line with the ex-MR line was just to the right opposite the signal box. This was in the main to aid goods traffic originating from the south to access either Lawley Street or Curzon Street goods yards.
