View from a footbridge looking south east towards Nuneaton station with Abbey Junction and Birmingham behind the camera. The lines just off picture to the right (between excavator and new flats) cross the flyover over the WCML and run into platforms 6 and 7 on the east side of the station see image 32902. The new Nuneaton North Chord, on which work has recently commenced, will provide a link between this line and the northbound WCML off picture to the left. This will allow rail traffic coming off the flyover to join the down WCML without the need to cross the up main line at the south end of the station as at present. Before joining the WCML the new chord will pass over the existing link between Abbey Junction and Nuneaton North Junction. Note vegetation clearance in progress.
