Water Orton Station: mrwo121

View of Water Orton's original station showing the staggered platforms either side of the footbridge circa 1900. It is thought that the photographer is standing on the down or Birmingham platform. The reason behind this line of thought is that it was common for the most substantial passenger accommodation to be found on the platform where the bulk of the station's traffic would commence their journeys. As Birmingham would be the most common destination for passengers commencing their journeys at Water Orton then the platform on the right with the brick buildings would be the Birmingham platform.
