Coventry Station: lnwrcov1570

Looking towards Rugby along the up platform during the construction of the new station and Stoney Road bridge circa 1960. The new Stoney Road bridge was built on the cant and a little distance towards Rugby with steel girders carrying a concrete bridge. The new bridge can be seen above supported on temporary scaffolding and when complete the current bridge will be demolished. A temporary four-doll gantry has been built to replace the signals which will be lost by the removal of the old bridge. On the track can be seen a buffer stop protecting the down through line now occupied by some of the scaffolding and dwarf signals either side of the up through line.
