GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Widney Manor Station: gwrwm420b

Close up of image 'gwrwm420' showing the island platforms used to accommodate traffic using the Up Main and Down Relief lines and their passenger facilities. The passenger facilities were limited to waiting room and toilets with a large overhanging canopy to provide shelter from inclement weather. There are two signs hung from the canopy on the right, one displaying 'Platform 3' and the other displaying 'Gentlemens' the toilet entrance being hidden behind the modesty screen. The station lighting has been upgraded to electric and a lampshade can be seen projecting out either side from the original lamppost in the centre of the platform.
