LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Albany Road Bridge: lnwrar1544

Looking down Broomfield Road with three of the remaining carriages still standing across the junction with Albany Road. The fourth carriage has been removed very quickly and is now standing on the Leamington to Coventry branch line. The coaches had been left standing on a temporary siding which consequently had not been fitted with a stop block or buffers. The locomotive which was working the Swift Motor Company's 4. 55am Coventry to Birmingham excursion had entered the siding to add four more coaches and when the two sets of coaches touched the set in the siding ran away.
