LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Hampton in Arden Station: lnwrhia1562

Ex-LMS 4-6-0 Rebuilt Royal Scot class No 45735 'Comet' is seen at the head of the 4 30pm New St to Euston express service on 2nd June 1957. The train had just picked up a 'pilotman' as single line was working because of permanent way works were being carried out in the Berkswell to Tile Hill area. The ex-LMS 4F 0-6-0 No 44302 stands in the loop line that also provided access to Hampton in Arden goods yard which can just be seen in the distance on the right.
