Least Used Stations of Warwickshire (18th / 19th August 2023)

Least Used Stations of Warwickshire - Recorded Friday 18th & Saturday 19th August 2023 - Running Time 31 minutes 14 seconds.
There are 23 mainline railway stations in the county of Warwickshire and in this video I visited 5 of the least used stations (Claverdon; The Lakes; Wood End; Danzey and Bearley).
I have been interested in everything railways since childhood and like nothing more than the magical draw of stepping off the train at some of our quiet, remote, quirky and quintessential stations. Until recently, the stations that I visited in this video were ‘request stops’ and each has a fascinating history and story to be told. So in this video it is a case of ‘Stop the train, I want to get off!’.

Whoever designed the West Midlands livery deserves a medal. Its beautiful and is my favourite.

Thank you. When I lived in that area the franchise was held by London Midland so it was good to return during the summer and see WM Railways operating on these routes. The livery does look very smart, particularly the newer Class 196 DMU’s which I featured in my video from Leamington Spa. Best Wishes.

I liked the old photos/history of station buildings that have since been removed. Usually these buildings were much better than the modern day mettle bus shelters.

Thanks Robert. I am so pleased you enjoyed the video particularly when looking back at how the stations operated in years gone by. Best Wishes.
