LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa149
Another view of the ex-GWR locomotives at the head of the
LCGB special made up of Southern Region coaching stock on 12th October, 1963.
The LCGB's 'Thames, Avon and Severn Rail Tour' started the tour at London
Waterloo. The turntable in the foreground is still operational although the
rust on the rails indicates that it was not used very frequently. Most
locomotives that needed servicing would run to the nearby former GWR shed at
Stratford upon Avon. The water tank in the background is also still in use
being used to supply the water columns at the station.
