LMS 5XP Patriot class No 5519 'Lady Godiva' running tender first and coupled to an unknown classmate has just passed under Quinton Road bridge

LMS 5XP Patriot class No 5519 'Lady Godiva' running tender first and coupled to an unknown classmate has just passed under Quinton Road bridge as they progress towards Rugby station. Interestingly both have full tenders so they might have both been on a short running in trip from Rugby which might also account for their being coupled tender to tender. C1933 Rebuilt from a LNWR Claughton at Crewe works in February 1933 No 5519 remained in service until March 1962 when it was withdrawn from Barrow shed in Bristol to be scrapped immediately by Crewe works. The two nameplates were donated to Coventry City Council and were last noted to be displayed by the author in the early 1980s, one lying on top of the other, at Coventry's Museum of Road Transport.
