GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Leamington Spa Station: gwrls848
A GWR 'Standard Goods' 0-6-0 stands at the Birmingham end of the
station with a train comprising empty coal wagons. To the left of the train in
the 'six foot' is a timber planked walkway which appears to run past the down
starting signal. John Copsey writes 'A staff member can be seen crouching down
in the foreground, possibly examining a fitting. Goods trains required regular
inspection en route, particularly when grease axlebox vehicles were included in
the formation. Indeed, any of the faster down vacuum goods trains containing
grease 'box wagons were required to stop at Leamington for inspection. 9th
January 1911
