LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton LMS Route: Nuneaton to
Leamington
Coventry Station: lnwrcov641
Aerial view of Coventry station looking towards Birmingham
with the branch to Leamington on the left. Whilst outside our time frame of
1968 this photograph has been included as it provides a comparison the 1919
aerial views of the station. The Nuneaton branch can just be seen leaving the
mainline top right. Stoney Road bridge is the first structure crossing the
line, Warwick Road bridge is immediately above the station whilst Spencer Park
footbridge can be seen at the top crossing a now bare piece of land where once
the goods station existed. At this point, in the early 1980s, there was still
the occasional siding with some wagons as can be seen in this photograph.
