View from the cattle dock siding to Kineton signal box which was built when the two platforms were extended. A clerestory coach can be seen in to the right of the signal box in the siding that lay behind the up platform. The village of nearby Little Kineton was the headquarters of the Warwickshire Hunt whose territory went as far as Broom. Consequently the SMJ offered their services to transport the Hunt which led in 1909 to their purchasing a hound van from the Great Eastern. This together with a number of horse boxes were kept at Kineton and when used the inspector from Stratford upon Avon would attend to supervise the process.
