LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Coundon Road Station: lnwrcr37

Ex-LMS 4-6-0 'Stanier Black 5' No 44915 is seen coasting through the station at the head of an express working to Coventry

Ex-LMS 4-6-0 'Stanier Black 5' No 44915 is seen coasting through the station at the head of an express working to Coventry. Built at Crewe works in December 1945, No 44915 remained in service until December 1967 when it was withdrawn from Lostock Hall shed. The volume of locomotives being withdrawn in the last years was so great it exceeded the capacity of the country's scrap metal merchants and therefore No 44915 remained in store until October 1968 when it was finally cut up for scrap by TW Ward Ltd of Beighton.
