Trains over Nuneaton North Chord have to run wrong line through the flyover platforms, as the North Chord can only be accessed from the line towards Leicester see image 42864. This is 66165 roaring through platform 7 on 2nd May. The crossover beyond the flyover was still switched over 10 minutes later, to allow the opposing Freightliner (which would normally arrive before this train) to access the WCML via platform 6.
