GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line

Wootton Wawen Platform: gwrww522

Looking towards Birmingham showing the replacement GWR Pagoda building on the down platform and the bridge which carries the line over Wawensmere Road. Looking towards Birmingham in the early 1930s with the 'station' being classified as a platform, the GWR's equivalent of a halt. The only facility on the platform were two small waiting rooms both clad in corrugated metal sheeting. The structure on the up platform appears to be a little larger than the structure on the down platform. In addition they are to two types of design, the larger unit being a conventional sloping roof type whilst the other smaller unit appears to be a GWR 'Pagoda'. As can be seen the platforms are well lit with oil lamp posts, very important on unmanned stations.
