LMS Route: Trent Valley Line

LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Nuneaton Station: lnwrns1673

View of Nuneaton's No 1 Signal Box's Diagram showing the line to Leicester at the bottom and the line to Coventry at the top. The diagram shows the line to Leicester was the up and the line to Nuneaton was the down. Similarly the line to Rugby was the up and the line to Nuneaton was the down. In this instance both share the same configuration although this is not always the case as the LNWR, in common with most English railway companies, had London as the destination of the up direction but the Midland had Derby as their up destination. This reflected the fact that the Midland Railway was very much a provincial company until they opened their extension to St Pancras in 1868 and therefore almost literally all lines led to Derby.
