LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Coundon Road Station: lnwrcr40

Looking towards Nuneaton with Coundon Road station's down platform on the left and the up platform for Coventry trains on the right. Between the two sets of tracks at the far end of the platforms is a trailing crossover which was installed to allow goods traffic departing from Coundon Goods yard to access the line to Nuneaton. The level crossing and the limitations of the low-lying ground towards Coventry limited the LNWR's options for this location. It was not unusual for traffic to be kept waiting for long periods of time as coal trains were marshalled through the station.
