GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton

Leamington Shed: gwrls2200a

Close up of image 'gwrls2200' showing the coaling stage showing wagons stabled at the top of the ramp despite the track being overgrown. The coaling road adjacent to the coaling chute shows the pit covered with white ash. Next to this road are the wagons used to transport the clinker and ash removed from the locomotives off site. Chris Capewell writes when correcting this caption, 'on the turntable are two 350hp D-shunters that were supplied from Saltley on a weekly change over basis. The second can just about be made out behind'.
