Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna45a
Close up of image 'mrna45' showing how passengers were
expected to cross the railway lines from one platform to another. Whilst there
is a boarded 'barrow crossing' at the end of the platforms this was strictly
for staff only. The notice seen at the end of the down platform (on the right)
warns passengers not to use the barrow crossing and only to use the steps and
the road bridge. The signal gantry has three sets of signals as the arm on the
left controls the line to Ashby, the entre arm controls the connecting line to
the former LNWR Trent Valley Line and the arm on the right controls the line to
Leicester. The Type 4 diesel is standing more or less where the ex-LNWR 0-8-0
locomotive was in image 'mrna48a'.
