GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Fenny Compton Station: gwrfc83a
Close up showing a train approaching the joint signal box and
the Banbury end of the down platform. The locomotive is standing opposite the
exchange sidings and might be involved in shunting duties. The ex-SMJ line
crossed the ex-GWR main line to the south of the station (up direction) and the
overbridge can be seen in the background of this photo. The ex-SMJ line also
crossed the Oxford canal (part of the Grand Union) at the same point. It is
apparent from this view that there is no gate let in to the fencing on the down
platform and if compared with image 'gwrfc82a' this
is also true of the platform fencing behind the photographer. This must mean
that passengers from the western side (down line) had to cross the line via the
level crossing walk along the pathway (seen in image 'gwrfc83a' and then return to the down side by the
barrow crossing.
