LMS Route: Nuneaton to Coventry

Daimler Halt: lnwrdh1924

English Electric Type 4 1Co-Co1 D298 passing through the closed Halt on a diverted Euston to New Street express service. The Halt had been closed for several years when this photograph was taken as is evident by the growth of shrubbery on the right. The train had been diverted because of the electrification of the Birmingham to London route. Mark Percival writes, 'With regard to the above photo, it is an interesting coincidence but I think the bus seen on the bridge is a Daimler! Coventry at this time (early/mid '60s) had mainly Daimler but some Leyland so I can't be sure - might one for a mystery question'.
