An unidentified ex-LNER B1 4-6-0 is seen coming off the Nuneaton line with a Class H service to Washwood Heath Sidings. British Railways categorised a Class H service as a 'Through freight or ballast train NOT running under class 'C', 'D', 'E', or 'F' headcode'. Ex-LNER B1's had a regular passenger working from Cleethorpes to New Street whilst freight services also benefitted from Thompson's equivalent to Stanier's Black Five.
