LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Adderley Park Station: lnwr_add4479

An updated version of an 1841 map of Adderley Park station showing the sidings on the left and the two platforms on the right

An updated version of an 1841 map of Adderley Park station showing the sidings on the left and the two platforms on the right. The down platform was an island platform as the primary entrance to the siding was routed behind the down platform. Its the belief of the author that the down platform never serviced down trains via the route to the siding. There were minimum widths of platforms laid down by statute and Adderley Park's down platform would have failed to meet this regulations. The above map was provided by Russell Burridge who copied two huge 4ft x 2ft folders showing in detail the route as surveyed in 1841 by Binns & Clifford of Birmingham, and updated by F Wood of Rugby in 1863 and then by others up until circa 1875.
