LMS Route: Rugby to Tamworth

Atherstone Station: lnwr_ath1734

Looking towards Rugby from Watling Street bridge showing the quadrupling of the lines still under construction adjacent to the new down platform. The quadrupling of the line required the original down platform to be demolished with the new signal box positioned in its place within a slightly wider six-foot. Athestone's goods yard and shed was located to the left of Livock's original station building with access being gained from the Rugby end of the station. C1901
