LMS Route: Trent Valley Line
Shilton Station: lnwr_shil1341
View looking towards Rugby showing the down island platform
shelter with the up platform nearest the camera. Passenger facilities were
provided on a scale in accordance to the need. Therefore a shelter of the down
platform indicates that local passenger traffic was much heavier going north to
Nuneaton than south to Rugby. Note the steps from the platform to the track to
the side of the steps to the station. These would have been used by station
staff needing to cross to the goods yard - much quicker route than walking down
to the entrance via Lutterworth Road.
