LMS Route: Stratford Midland Junction - The Shakespeare Route

Stratford on Avon Station: smjsa65a

Close up of image 'smjsa65' showing the two signal boxes and goods yard on the left and the approach road to the shed on the right. The LMS extended the traffic control system pioneered by the MR to the old SMJ line under the area Control office based at Saltley. Initially the control clerk was located in Stratford on Avon's signal box but after he was transferred the stationmaster assumed his responsibilities and consequently spent much of his time in the signal box in order to respond quickly.
