LMS Route: Rugby to Tamworth

Atherstone Station: lnwr_ath3937

A lineside view of Atherstone station after closure and the removal of the platform canopy circa 1975. Although vandalism, neglect and disuse, after Atherstone was made an unstaffed halt, had taken their toll by the mid 1970s, the removal of the awning on the Up platform enables one to appreciate Livock's design once again, in this study looking towards Stafford. Out of sight to the right of the building was a 'bus shelter', the only comfort the present day passenger can expect.
