LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Nuneaton

Nuneaton Abbey Street Station: mrna1916

A view of the front elevation of Nuneaton Abbey Street station its later British Railways days. The station was opened on 1st September 1873 to cater for the Ashby & Nuneaton services as the original station (see the plan in the image 'mrna1949') had been aligned for the Leicester line. The connecting line to the LNWR, which was to the 'north' of the original station, precluded the possibility of just adding additional platforms.
