Whilst the City of Coventry was very badly damaged by the Luftwaffe (causing the Germans to invent the expression to "Coventrate" meaning to utterly destroy) the railway wasn't too badly damaged. However the disruption through bomb damage and unexploded bombs resulted in services being terminated at Tile Hill on Birmingham services. This view shows the damage sustained to the end of the up platform structure. Nov 1940
