GWR Routes: Banbury to Wolverhampton and the North Warwickshire Line

Moor Street Station: gwrms1205a

Close up of image 'gwrms1205' showing shed 'A' and the 'U' shaped platform with the 'walking crane' single rail track that ran on both sides and at one of the unloading platform. The Wagon Hoist to shed 'A' is seen on the right adjacent to the traverser in the lower portion of the plan. Its presumed that because the shed was smaller and because the goods it catered for were metal there was only need for one Wagon Hoist. Below the Wagon Hoist on the plan is the transformer centre for the electrical equipment. A single siding can be seen at the very top of the plan with capstans provided to move wagons along its length. The office for the staff to hold their records of goods in and out is located in the top platform on the right. Another siding can be seen in the bottom portion of the plan and is set into the unloading platform.
