Nuneaton: Covid lockdown has clearly left me out of practice. I heard 'Bahamas' was coming through Nuneaton, and decided to flex out from working at home. I knew which platform it was coming through, but my brain failed to work out which platform to stand on. Bruggle strothers.

Five years later the station was moved about 500 yards to the west where it survived unchanged until closure in 1965. On 26 September 2020 a Northern Class 333, from Skipton to Bradford Forster Square, passes the surviving building of the first station.
