Coventry Station - BR Locomotives: lnwrcov236
Ex-LMS 4-6-2 8P Coronation class No 46240 'City of Coventry
stands at Coventry station's new platform three with down Euston to Birmingham
express circa 1963. The locomotive was named at a ceremony at Coventry shed by
the Lord Mayor of Coventry. During the period when the locomotive lay in store
waiting for scrapping there were a number of appeals in the Coventry Evening
Telegraph to save the locomotive at a cost of £10,000 but unfortunately
unlike Birmingham, the attempts failed.
