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 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.
