LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna1951

A Diesel Multiple Unit has just departed Abbey Street station with a service for Birmingham New Street on 24th February 1968

A Diesel Multiple Unit has just departed Abbey Street station with a service for Birmingham New Street on 24th February 1968. On the left at the rear of the down platform the fencing has been removed as part of the process of laying square concrete ducting to be used to house the cabling associated with the colour aspect signalling being introduced. The white sign with the number '3' on it is a guide for the driver of DMUs as it is instructing drivers of three-car units to stop at this point. Being a short platform no others are in sight but on longer platforms elsewhere similar signs for '4' and '6' cars could be seen.
