Hi all
Looking at the Coventry station departure boards, a couple of cancellations are showing up from the storm damage disruption, that might be ongoing even into Monday morning, but there are alternative services. |

Thought I would bring back memories of the old Tile Hill station. The photo was taken during my anorak days with an old box camera, of Royal Scot class 46136 on it way towards Birmingham. Happy days!!

Hi all
Fabulous autumn shades of our local railways. Your mention of Bescot reminds me of the national link freights from Banbury to Bescot. Memories of watching the Friday evening down freight through Coventry always heavier on a Friday, often hauled by a pair of class 25s that struggled up the slight climb to Tile Hill where they sometimes took refuge in the looped siding, if the train was short enough, that is. Standing in Coventry it was always evident as to what the freight was up to, as for an hour after the following commuter trains were often delayed. |

A century ago there was a single track railway line that ran from Hawkesbury Halt to the Wyken Colleries.
A train from Deedmore Road to Hawkesbury with say 40/50 loaded trucks of coal, if the last truck or van was at Deedmore Road the engine would be at the side of a field, here ran a man-made ditch across the width of the field, the earth from the ditch was piled along the banks. A small brick bridge for horse and cart spanned the ditch.
Question - was the ditch for a suction hose for the train, or was it built earlier, as for a horse trough, for horse pulled coal trucks?
Any one help please. |
