LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
Tile Hill Station: lnwrth711b
This close up of image 'lnwr711' shows the station's main
building on the up platform complete with single-storey booking office. The
sign by the entrance to the booking office reads 'Beware of Trains' whilst the
timber fencing was all that existed between trains passing at 90 m.p.h. and
passengers. The gap between the end of the fence and the ramp of the platform
would not be tolerated under the Health & Safety regime we suffer today yet
this existed for nearly one-hundred years without anyone being injured.
