LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Adderley Park Station: lnwr_add1483

Looking towards Coventry with the station just beyond Bordesley Green Road with the up platform on the left

Looking towards Coventry with the station just beyond Bordesley Green Road with the up platform on the left and the access siding to the extensive yard on the right. The signal cabin, which controlled the lines through the station as well as access to the sidings on both sides of the tracks, is seen at the far end of the down platform. The two signal arms are repeaters with the principle signals being at the top of the tall post to aid sighting above the bridge for express workings. The use of repeaters were common not least to aid locomotive crews in bad or foggy weather when the arms at the top would be obscured.
