LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Brandon and Wolston: lnwrbw3094a

Close up showing the station's simple timber built LNWR waiting room on the down platform

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.
