Next the shot shows the train passing through Hawksbury Lane Station with a 4MT with an up train from Lemington Spa to Nuneaton. The odd point about this station was that the down platform was at ground level.

Here we see the 4F Backing up the Hawksbury Branch towards the Power Station at the end of the line.

Are final stop was the Coventry Gas Works.
The train then went onto Coventry and onto Rugby before finally returning the Nottngham via the old Great Central Main Line.

Though this would be a nice post before I went away for a couple of week.
Hoped you like this selection of shots.:wave:
