replaced the original 1865 structure and the British Railways corporate signage
installed in 1954. Stratford on Avon West Signal Box can be seen the other side
of Alcester Road bridge controlling the refuge siding on the up line
immediately before the bridge and the points to both island platforms as well
as the Cold Store up loop line. In 1929 there was 37 members of staff based at
Stratford on Avon station under the direction of the Traffic Department of the
Birmingham Division. The stationmaster was a grade 3 salaried member of staff,

Ticket Collector, one Parcel Porter, four Porters, one Passenger Shunter, six
Goods Shunters, twelve Signalmen, four Passenger Guards, one Goods Guard, one
Porter Guard and one Charwoman who worked one day per week. The signalmen were
allocated as follows: three at Stratford on Avon Goods Junction Signal Box,
