LMS Route: Rugby to Tamworth

Tamworth Station: lnwr_tam1255

External view of Tamworth Low Level station with the connecting corridor to the High Level station seen on the right. The High Level Station was accessed via a staircase situated in the tall part of the station on the right. This exchange facility was extended to mail and parcels traffic too via lifts as Tamworth's strategic location situated astride the West Coast and Derby - Bristol routes allowed both the LNWR and Midland Railway to fully exploit its position. Both stations when built were within the County of Warwickshire as the boundary changes that saw Tamworth becoming part of Staffordshire occurred in the 1870s.
