GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Hatton Station: gwrhj1925
Ex-GWR 4-6-0 No 6005 'King George II' enters the confines of
the station at the head of the 2:20pm Paddington to Birkenhead in 1957. The
signals seen above are on the left, the up home starter whilst on the right is
a bracket signal with two arms controlling access from the branch platform
either on to the up main line for Warwick (the left hand signal) or on to the
down goods line (the right hand signal). In the distance next to the small hut
is a single post carrying three signal arms. These control access from the down
goods loop as follows: The top arm is for the siding on the extreme right, the
middle arm for accessing the branch platform and the bottom arm for passage on
to the down main line. Prior to 1937 the original Hatton South Signal Box was
located near to this signal. In the background are more signals controlling the
down refuge siding and goods loop line.
