LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Bidford on Avon: smjboa2

Another, but later LMS view, looking towards Stratford upon Avon. The platform has been built using timber sleepers an economy measure used until BR days when the use of purpose built concrete units replaced the use of sleepers. Arthur Jordan record's in his book on the railway that the two lamps (one can be seen to the right of the grounded coach on his copy of this photograph) had the station name on the front glass, perhaps the only sign of extravagance at the station.
