GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hatton Station: gwrhj1934
Looking towards Birmingham from the Warwick end of Hatton
station's up platform in 1956. On the right is the large station nameboard
advising passengers Hatton Junction for Bearley Alcester & Stratford on
Avon. The closure of the Alcester branch had resulted in Alcester
being blanked out. The refreshment room and other principle facilities were
located in the brick building on the island platform and not, as was so often
the case, in the building facing on to the station's main approach. The
grounded body on the right was used as a bicycle store for passengers arriving
at the station by bike, which until 1960 would have been the majority of
passengers.
