A short freight train passes Water Orton Station
Class 31 No. 31289, on a short freight, passes the Birmingham/Leicester platform at Water Orton Station on 16/4/1985. The platform buildings dated from the rebuilding and construction of the direct Derby line in, if memory serves me correctly, 1907. In spite of efforts by local people to save them sadly they were demolished and replaced with bus type shelters, only the buildings at street level and the covered stairway now survive.

Water Orton Station and car park
View of station from car park. Nearest platform is 'to Birmingham'. At this time, there were VERY few services to this station, suffering as it does from being outside the West Midlands county, yet closer to Birmingham than many other stations.
