Leamington (Avenue) Station: lnwrlave1349a

This close up of image 'lnwrlave1349' was included to provide a better understanding of the configuration of the Railcar. The unit could be driven in both directions from the raised 'cockpit' which was located above the luggage compartment. It is thought by examining the photograph that a conductor would possibly have resided under the cockpit.

Entry to the luggage compartment was via the roller shutter door, itself a modern idea not fully exploited until BR used them on the now redundant TPO stock. The twin sliding passenger door clearly owes its existence to the influence of underground rolling stock. Note the driver who is sitting in the passenger compartment just above the Coventry Railcar logo.
