LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa158
View of the LCGB's South Midlander special at the down
platform with a freight service passing through the up platform. The lack of
safety precautions would be intolerable to today's Health & Safety statsi
yet this scene was repeated across the country without mishap for the last
fifteen years of steam. Perhaps its as much due to the self-discipline of the
then railway enthusiast as anything else that these scenes were tolerated.
