LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare
Route
Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa60
View of Stratford on Avon station lying derelict as seen
some ten years after closure to passenger traffic. The removal of the over
scale 1909 canopy to the front of the building allows us to see the more
refined architecture that the E&WJR adopted. The polished rails on some of
the lines indicates that the route was still being used albeit to the new
junction with the ex-GWR Stratford upon Avon - Honeybourne line. The new south
facing link to the GWR by the racecourse enabled large iron ore mineral trains
to pass between Nothamptonshire and South Wales.
