Coventry Station: lnwrcov243a

Close up of a driver's view approaching the station before passing under Warwick Road bridge

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.
