LMS Route: Nuneaton to Birmingham New Street

Shustoke Station: mr_shus1059

A 1902 25 inch to the mile Ordnance Survey map showing Shustoke station and two siding goods yard. The access to the station and the goods yard was off Coleshill Road which crossed the railway on the Nuneaton side of the station. The station's signal box was located on the down line on the Whitacre side of the station and centred on the goods yard which was opposite. Unlike the 1924 OS map there are no letters 'W M' at the entrance to the yard to show where the weighbridge was located however, the two buildings located next to the lettering on the 1924 map exist so its reasonable to assume that the weighbridge did exist. The cattle dock is located to the left of the station building, accessed by a short spur from the two loop sidings. On the extreme right of the map is a farmer's possession bridge.
