LMS Route: The Shakespeare Route

Fenny Compton Station: smjfc95

View of the revised track layout enabling traffic from the former GWR line to join the former SMJ route to Stratford on Avon. The track layout at Fenny Compton was revised in 1960 to permit iron ore trains from Banbury to run off the GWR main line onto the SMJ route to Stratford upon Avon where another new connection allowed the trains to join the GWR route to Honeybourne. The SMJ single line is on the left whilst the GWR main line are the two lines to the right. The second line from the left was the used as the crossover for down traffic from Banbury to Stratford upon Avon. This line continues to the GWR station where it rejoins the down GWR line.
