GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Leamington Spa Station: gwrls2135a

Close up showing on the left the stairs to the subway and on the right a box containing train indicator signs

Close up of image 'gwrls2135' showing on the left the stairs to the subway and on the right a box containing train indicator signs. Train indicator signs were used in the pre-digital era to advise passengers of the destination and some times the timings of trains leaving the platform. The box contained a sign for every service departing the platform with the final destination in large letters and intermediate stops in smaller letters. The sign would be placed in a bracket located at the top of the staff which was fixed centrally within the box. An example of a train indicator with clocks can be seen in action during British Railway's day at the former LNWR's Coventry station.
