GWR Route: Stratford on Avon to Honeybourne
Sancta Lane Station: gwrsanct3922
Internal correspondence from Mr E Murphy dated 4th July
1888:
Dear Sir,
The traffic at this Junction appears very
small, and I am inclined to think we might work it with Annetts Key
attached to the Train Staff, allowing the Junction something after the manner
proposed.
The Annetts Key would of course be attached to the Train
Staff & I presume that it could be arranged for the train calling there to
be in possession of the Staff, for without this the Junction could not be used
and for the Guards to put off and take our wagons without any of the Station
Staff being required to assist.
Failing this, the only alternative would
be to take the traffic up to the Stratford Goods Yard by means of a Pilot
Engine, but this would mean additional cost to this Company.
What are
the hours of the Signalman at the Junction and would more than wages of one man
be saved if it were closed?
Yours truly E Murphy Esq
Written in red on the letter are the Signalmans
hours: 7:45am to 8:15pm.
