GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Leamington Shed: gwrls2166

A schematic plan showing the layout of Leamington shed, coaling stage, turntable and carriage sidings. The sidings on the left adjacent to the LNWR line to Rugby were used primarily for loco coal. Whereas the short siding between the coaling road and the turntable road was used for accommodating wagons loaded with ash and clinker following the cleaning of locomotives. The five carriage sidings were numbered in sequence commencing from the road adjacent to the shed and finishing with No 5 which was located next to the mainline. This siding was kept free to facilitate locomotives running around from one end to another. Siding No 5 also had a short dead-end siding leading off which was known as 'Bursalls' and mainly used to stable auto-cars.
