LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Daimler Halt: lnwrdh118

A view of the station looking towards Nuneaton. The bridge at the far end of the station is Sandy Lane road bridge. The Daimler, later Jaguar works were to the left of the bridge and further down the line. The covered passenger accommodation was very basic and by the 1950s in a poor state of repair. Passengers leaving and entering the station had to present their tickets to the porter who resided in one of the little huts seen in the distance.

The puzzle to the author was how did passengers access the up (left) platform. The reason the station was built was for the benefit of Daimler workers who would need to access the station at the far end of the station. The far platform end is clearly used being without grass etc. Yet there is no access visible on the left nor is there a barrow crossing evident. C1950s
