LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton
Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna1927
An unidentified ex-LMS 5MT 4-6-0 locomotive pilots an
ex-LNER B1 4-6-0 locomotive on a service to New Street, probably from
Cleethorpes. There was a daily service between New Street and Cleethorpes
normally headed by an Immingham allocated B1 locomotive. Doubling heading
either indicated the service had been strengthened with additional carriages or
it the locomotive was working back to its home shed without the need to find
another path in an otherwise busy stretch of line.
