Thanks very much, yes been around there, would love to get ones of where it crossed Red Lane. Been down there but no trace now due to Waterman Rd being built. It was a through line from Websters crossing, Stoney Stanton Rd.
The peace house is where the signal box was. In theory you could use that line to go from near Kingfield Rd all the way through the Ordnance Works to the loop line. University of Central Lancashire

I travelled Kenilworth to Leamington today. I went out on the 09:44 which seem to about half enthusiasts and half locals. The return on the 14:00 from Leamington was mostly locals, including several people travelling through between Leamington and Coventry. Both trains (a single coach class 153) were about half full (35 people).
Both trains were on time despite the number of people taking photos and some people who had obviously never been on a train before!
Unfortunately I can't get my photos to upload.
The new trains for the Gospel Oak-Barking line have been delayed by three months (Islington Gazette). Presumably this means that the old trains will now arrive in the West Midlands next March rather than this December.
Peter.

My dad used to work there. I remember a photo in the Coventry Evening Telegraph showing the chimney being blown up using the detonating equipment by a lady who was one of the last office employees to leave along with another guy both wearing hard hats.
