GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Leamington Spa Station: gwrls852
View of the up platform from the west end of the down platform
with coaching stock seen standing in the up bay. John Copsey writes 'There is
evidence that it started its life (the up bay) as part of the 'excursion' side
of the station after the initial building work, providing part of a platform
for down mixed-gauge services'. During the early years of the station when
broad gauge and narrow gauge operated the lines under the train shed were broad
gauge and it was the 'excursion' platform that handled the initial and low
levels of narrow gauge traffic, mainly from Stratford upon Avon.
