GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

GWR Route: Hatton to Stratford on Avon

Wilmcote Station: gwrwil516

Looking towards Birmingham with the up platform on the left and the original 1860 station and platform seen beneath the road bridge. The replacement double-tracked station opened on 9th December 1907 being built to the south of the road bridge that carried Station Road on the left over the railway to meet Featherbed Lane which is to the right of the station. The main station building is located on the up platform housing both the booking office and the passenger facilities which included ladies and general waiting rooms including en-suite toilet for the ladies whilst the gentlemen's toilets were located at the Stratford upon Avon end of the building and accessed from a door in the gable end. The passenger footbridge so familiar in later years has yet to be erected.
