LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Coventry Station - BR Locomotives: lnwrcov199

Ex-LMS 2P 0-4-4T No 41902 is seen at the rear of a Leamington to Nuneaton 'Push-Pull' local passenger service. The locomotive has been converted so that the driving controls can be operated via a driver's cab fitted to the front of the first coach. For whatever reason, from photographic evidence, it seemed standard practice that services were pushed to Nuneaton and pulled to Leamington. Built as LMS No 1902 at Derby works to Lot 78 in December 1932 it remained in service until November 1959 when it was withdrawn from Rugby to be stored until it was finally scrapped sometime in 1960 by J Cashmore of Great Bridge.
