GWR Route: Moreton-in-Marsh to Shipston-on-Stour

Moreton-in-Marsh Station: gwrmm979a

This close up shows the unusual and intricate porch added to the main passenger structure after originally built

Close up of image 'gwrmm979' showing the unusual and intricate porch added to the main passenger structure after originally built. It is thought that the porch, built using timber, was added sometime around the turn of the century as it is not evident in image 'gwrmm3058'. The station master's office was located on the right whilst the booking office, passenger waiting rooms and facilities were located in the middle at the opposite end of the building. The three railwaymen chatting by the station master's office would in a few years be fewer in number as the rise in competition from road transport impacted upon both passenger and freight loadings.
