Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna1095

Looking in the direction of Birmingham as a three-car Craven DMU set arrives from New Street station on 2nd March 1968

Looking in the direction of Birmingham as a three-car Craven DMU set arrives from New Street station on Saturday 2nd March 1968. Its two days prior to the official closure of the station but in essence as this is the last day schedule services will call its the final date of operation. The service in future will call at the LNWR station before rejoining the former Midland line to Leicester. The original station opened in 1864 by the MR was built 150 yards beyond the end of the platforms near to the curve in the track.
