LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa60

View of the station lying derelict after closure to passenger traffic in the 1960s. The removal of the over scale 1909 canopy to the front of the building allows us to see the more refined architecture that the E&WJR adopted. The polished rails on some of the lines indicates that the route was still being used albeit to the new junction with the ex-GWR Stratford upon Avon - Honeybourne line. The new south facing link to the GWR by the racecourse enabled large iron ore mineral trains to pass between Nothamptonshire and South Wales.
