Leapgate Private Sidings
The Leapgate Private Sidings were situated between Hartlebury and Stourport at 133m 36ch. They served a depot of the Regent Oil Company (named Texaco after 1967) which opened on 28 August 1939. The depot had no road connection.
The two sidings, one on each side of a gantry, would each hold up to 13 20-ton or 17 10-ton tank wagons. Access to the sidings was controlled by a 2-lever ground frame operating the points and a facing point lock, released by the electric token for the Hartlebury to Stourport section. Up to 30 wagons were propelled to the sidings from Stourport, led by a brake van[1].
