LMS Route: Leamington to Weedon

Napton & Stockton Station: lnwrn&s1319

Looking along Napton & Stockton's up platform as the station porter passes over the staff for the next section of line. The station's up platform was built in timber as was its buildings which offered passengers only basic facilities. The platforms were however built to standard height unlike those built on the nearby Rugby to Leamington branch being erected in the last decade of the 19th century. As can be seen, the building was a long narrow structure with the gent's toilets on the left, then the general waiting room, ladies toilets and booking office. In the absence of windows to the gentlemen's toilets raised skylights were employed to provide both fresh air and lighting. As can be seen oil lamps on brackets were placed on the station building's wall in the centre and at the end of the building.
