LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
Brandon and Wolston: lnwrbw3094a
Close up of image 'lnwrbw3094' showing the station's simple
timber built LNWR waiting room on the down platform. The canopy provided was
short, being formed as an extension of the roof of the waiting room, and only
designed to protect passengers standing immediately adjacent to the building.
Modellers might wish to note the ornate barge board of the canopy has broken at
the corner, probably due to rot at the joints, and the raised lip to the roof.
This type of waiting room was open to the front, not having doors, and
therefore was not provided with a fire but was provided with a tall narrow
arched window sited at either end of the structure to provide additional
internal daytime lighting.
