LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa44b

Close up showing passengers  leaving the platform with many people  wheeling bicycles from the train

In this close up of image 'smjsa44' passengers can be seen to be leaving the platform with half of them also wheeling bicycles from the train. Most railways provided either storage facilities at stations or would convey the bicycle in the guards van for free or a relatively small fee. The rural nature of the line and the location of the stations relative to areas of housing meant that many passengers on the SMJ would need transport at both ends of their journey.
