LMS Route: Hampton in Arden to Whitacre

B&DJR Documentation: mrsbr1867c

An 1877 Timetable showing four mixed trains plus one passenger service each day between Hampton and Whitacre. The first and last service of the day commences and terminates at Hampton implying the Hampton shed was still in use. Of interest are the notes between the two timetables seen above. It states 'The Hampton Engine must take Traffic from the New to the Old Whitacre Station at 10:20 am & 2:30 pm. No 5 Train waits for Burton Goods when required'. This is some twelve plus years after the new station had opened and would imply that until the major cessation of traffic just a few months later in 1877 (see image 'mrsbr1867d') both stations were in use.
