English Electric Type 4 1Co-Co1 D300 passes through the
station with a train of mineral wagons in the mid 1960s. The train is
travelling on the line from Whitacre so it most likely its carry coal from one
of the North Warwickshire or East Leicestershire collieries. Built by English
Electric at their Vulcan works in October 1960, D300 was renumbered under TOPs
as 40100 in February 1974 and was to remain in service until October 1980 when
it was withdrawn from HM Healey Mills MPD to be stored before being scrapped by
Swindon works in June 1981.
