LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton

Canley Halt: lnwrchg2803

A New Street to Coventry six-car Diesel Multiple Unit set is seen arriving at Canley Halt's up platform. The overhead electric wires are in place but as the passenger service is still being served by DMUs and not Electric Multiple Units the date must be before 6th March 1967 when the electrification of the Rugby to Birmingham line was completed. The large factory on the right was part of the British Leyland Motor Company's Triumph works nee Standard Motor Company.
