Hawkesbury Lane Station: lnwhl145k
View from the driving cab of an motor fitted train as it
approaches Hawkesbury Lane station with a local passenger service to Nuneaton.
Motor fitted trains were used to reduce the need for the locomotive to run
around the train when at the end of their journey in order to return. They were
usually two coaches long with an elderly ex-LNWR 2-4-2T locomotive at the other
end, later to be replaced by Ivatt 2-6-2T locomotives. As seen in images 'lnwroffch1451' and 'lnwrk152' these trains were common to the Rugby to
Leamington route as well as the Nuneaton to Leamington line.
