LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Coventry Gasworks: misc_covgas1480

Ex-LMS 2-6-2T No 40157 is seen at the head of a five-coach service between Nuneaton and Coventry

Ex-LMS 2-6-2T No 40157 is seen at the head of a five-coach service between Nuneaton and Coventry. The coaching stock appears to be corridor stock and not local passenger stock indicating perhaps that they have been pressed into service to make up for a shortage. The second and possibly the fourth coaches appear to be in the original British Railways 'blood and custard' or crimson and cream livery. Built at Derby works in October 1937 No 40157 remained in service until November 1962 when it was withdrawn from Willesden shed prior to being cut up at Derby works in April 1963.
