LMS Route: Rugby to Tamworth

Polesworth Station: lnwr_pol1205

Looking towards the main 1847 station building still more or less as built but with the replacement signal box and quadrupled tracks on the right circa 1950s. The boarded walkway across the tracks was called a barrow crossing as it was used by station staff to wheel luggage and small parcels to the up platform. Passengers would be required to use the footbridge which was installed during the quadrupling of the line early in the 20th century.
