GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Warwick Station: gwrw393b

Close up showing the much lower platform level of the platform at the Leamington end of the station

Close up of image 'gwrw393' showing the much lower platform level of the platform at the Leamington end of the station. The height of the platform is much lower than that seen on the section of the down platform's 1892 extension seen in image 'gwrw390a'. The space between the up and down line is greater than the normal 'six foot' as the line between Birmingham and Oxford had been opened to accommodate both broad gauge and standard gauge trains. The bracket signal has been employed to place the arms over the line to aid visibility. Access to the goods shed and yard would be controlled by one of the two signals with the other being employed controlling the line to Leamington.
