Coventry Station: lnwrcov2770b

A three car DMU stands at Coventry's up platform which still retains some of the original structure

Close up of image 'lnwrcov2770' showing a three car DMU standing at Coventry's up platform which still retains some of the original structure. To the left the canopy is a temporary structure whereas on the right its the original but with its facade removed. Behind the platform two of the new parcel depot's curved roof section can be seen. The volume of parcel traffic being such in the 1950s, when the station was planned, that it was deemed necessary to provide a larger facility than previous. Within a few years the growth of road transport had effectively killed off this business and the depot was no longer used.
