Looking south along the goods loop line showing the Warwick end of the island platform with its 1947 extension. As indicated by the signal gantries, which show signals controlling traffic heading in both north and south, the loop line was used by traffic from both directions in order to keep the main through lines free. On the left are the railings which formed the boundary with the former LNWR station. As can be seen at this point the ex-LNWR tracks are lower than the GWR lines. The photograph was taken by an official photographer on 9th January 1948.
