GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Leamington Spa Station: gwrls865b

This close up of image 'gwrls865' shows the ticket inspector's booth next to the exit to the staircase leading down to the subway. On the opposite side of the column is another ticket inspector's booth whilst to the windows to the rear provided natural lighting to the staircase. To the right of the second inspector's booth are train indicator fingerboards stored vertically in their box. This form of train information was common to all companies and lasted in general use until the early 1950s. For a clear example of the train indicator fingerboard system (albeit by the LMS) see image 'lnwrcov589a'. To the right of the original structure is a free standing short canopy erected to provide additional protection to passengers.
