LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Tile Hill Station: lnwrth711b

Close up showing the station's main building on the up platform complete with single-storey booking office

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.
