Coventry Station: lnwrcov243a
This close up of image 'lnwrcov243' showing a driver's view
approaching the station before passing under Warwick Road bridge. The bridge is
the original 1838 structure and its position, together with the junction with
the line to Leamington, was a major reason for the station being extremely
cramped. Not until the modernisation of the station in 1960 which saw the
bridge's removal to be replaced with a bridge spanning four roads and the four
platforms would the station enjoy platforms sufficiently long enough to
accommodate 14 coach trains.
