Yardmaster

Each evening the Yardmaster in charge of each yard prepares a list of the freight trains (booked and special) which he proposes to run next day.

The London Midland Region has announced receipt of authority from the Ministry of Transport to resume the reconstruction of Stafford station and layout, interrupted at the Minister's behest; contracts have now been placed for the erection of the new station buildings and the yardmaster's office.
