LMS Route: Trent Valley Line

LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Nuneaton Shed: lnwrns3807

The south end of Nuneaton station from Leicester Road bridge looking south with the main Trent Valley line straight ahead. The South Leicester line towards Hinckley and Leicester off to the left and the Coventry line curves away to the right. An 08 shunter is standing in the siding on the right. The former Signalling and Telegraph (S&T) sidings are in the foreground on the left. The line immediately to the right of the former S & T sidings was the hump shunt loop which was no longer used for shunting the yard when this picture was taken. This layout has been modified today to facilitate Leicester-Birmingham trains through the new Platforms 6 & 7 at Nuneaton station. See image 'lnwrns3806' for the view prior to the erection of the overhead electric gantries.
