LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Hampton in Arden Station: lnwrhia2992

View looking south towards Coventry showing the station's platforms being extended for use by express services

View looking south towards Coventry showing the station's platforms being extended for use by express services on 21st August 1965. The down passing loop which also served as a refuge siding has been removed in order to allow the platforms to be extended to cater for full length express services, a recognition of the wealthy commuters who lived in the area. The rails being laid are welded although in this instance they are being laid on timber sleepers not concrete which are the norm today.
