Coventry Station: lnwrcov620c
Close up of image 'lnwrcov620' shows the Birmingham end of
the up platform and the base of the passenger foot bridge for the down
platform. Careful examination of the platform at the base of the footbridge
shows that the up platform continues for a short distance the other side of the
footbridge with the platform under the footbridge sloping down to track level
to accommodate access to the barrow crossing which crosses to the down
platform. Beyond the up platform there appears to be a platform at a higher
level which was used for parcels and goods travelling by express train. The
bridge structure was later demolished although the iron latticework at the base
of the bridge together with part of its tower base remained until the station
was rebuilt in the 1960s.
