GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hatton Station: gwrhj1935
Looking north from the passenger footbridge towards Station
Road and Hatton South Junction. The date stated on the photograph is circa 1950
which is interesting as the station nameboard on the right reads Hatton
Junction for Bearley & Stratford on Avon whereas the nameboard at the
other end of the island platform seen in the 1956 image 'gwrhj1934' incorporated the full pre-Second World War
nameboard with Alcester blanked out. The corporate signage erected by
British Railways circa 1954-5 resulted in the station nameboard showing only
the name Hatton as seen in image 'gwrhj1877'. The signal on the right is of interest as
it faces the opposite way expected of signals controlling up traffic. This is
because it controlled trains required to reverse either into the up refuge loop
or into the siding located behind the up platform seen on the right.
