View north east at Three Spires Junction on 30 August 2011, with Freightliner 66542 approaching Coventry from Nuneaton on a container train. The line to the left serving the Prologis Industrial Park looks a little underused. Coventry City's Ricoh stadium in the background, standing alongside the line, is woefully under-provided with car and coach parking. A new station here should be completed by December 2013.

Freight Central. Between 4 and 5 pm on Fridays, stopping passenger trains at Nuneaton are concentrated on the 'new platforms' 6 and 7. Pendolinos zoom through 3 and 4 without stopping, and there is lots of freight on or through 1 and 2. Here 90048 heads North, while 66136 (out of shot) heads South on 2 September.
