LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Lea Hall Station: lnwrlh1595

Looking towards Coventry post-electrification from the Birmingham end of Lea Hall's down platform circa 1975. The platform buildings have been opened up by the removal of the wall facing the tracks. Whilst the gentlemen's toilet appears to still exist on the down platform it has been removed on the up platform. Again this will reflect the fact that the vast majority of passengers using the up platform would only be alighting at the station to rapidly exit for home. This was clearly a cost saving measure.
