Trains at South Wigston - Changing Traction Four Years Apart
Player
Description
The triangular layout at Wigston Junction is shown here from different vantage points and on two dates, four years apart, highlighting how the junction was used by traffic. Wigston once had three railway stations—Wigston South, Wigston Magna, and Glen Parva—all of which were closed by the 1960s. A new station, South Wigston, opened in 1986 to serve the area. These shots also capture movements over the south curve, a line that typically saw little freight or passenger traffic.
