View NW, towards Stafford, Crewe etc. on West Coast Main Line. Rebuilt 'Royal Scot' 7P No. 'The King's Regiment, Liverpool' (not yet fitted with smoke-deflectors) speeds through on the 07.50 Crewe to Euston, passing Nuneaton No. 3 Box. There were extensive marshalling yards on each side of the WCML here and in the distance can be seen the ex-Midland Birmingham - Leicester line crossing over the WCML, to pass through Nuneaton Abbey Street station.
