GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Leamington Spa Station: gwrls2133a

Close up showing the 1947 remodelled down platform which included a new water crane, drain and brazier

Close up of image 'gwrls2133' showing the 1947 remodelled down platform which included a new water crane, drain and brazier. The concrete bunker would in the winter contain the coal required to keep the brazier alight 24 hours a day during very cold weather. Despite such precautions in very cold weather the heat generated would not be enough to stop the water from freezing. This would create severe problems for the operating department.
