The Lakes Halt

GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

The Lakes Halt was built in 1936 to cater for the growing number of people escaping from living in Birmingham. The Halt was only designed to cater for commuter traffic and had relatively short platforms being 160 feet long. The title Waiting Room is perhaps too grand a description of the passenger accommodation at the Halt. They were of timber construction and open on one side, the one facing the platform, the word bus shelter would be a more apt description.
