Notice on Footbridge at South Wigston Railway Station, South Wigston
This notice is to be found at the north end of the footbridge. It tells people what number to ring if a road vehicle bumps into the footbridge. The reference to the Railway Authority is strange as there never was such a body. It probably means the Strategic Rail Authority, which in one of the never-ending re-organisations so popular with politicians, was abolished in 2006 after just a few years life. The successor was Network Rail, but whether the phone number still applies is unknown.

South Wigston Railway Station, South Wigston
The station is on the line from Birmingham to Leicester via Hinckley, but many trains do not stop here. The station's platforms are staggered, and this is the one on the north side of the tracks. The other platform is on the other side of the footbridge.
In the distance can be seen tracks coming in from the left. There is in fact a triangle of tracks in this area. The arrangement used to be even more complicated, as there was a further line going to Rugby, which cut across part of the triangle, but that closed decades ago. There used to be three stations in this area, but all were closed and replaced by the present South Wigston station, which is about as basic as can be.
