Coventry Arena

This happened a lot sooner than I expected. Less than 6 weeks after Arena and Bermuda Park see image 53940 stations opened, London Midland took the initiative to charter 67028, 67006 Royal Sovereign, and a 6-coach Anglia set to work shuttle services between Coventry, Coventry Arena, and Nuneaton (not stopping at Bermuda Park). This train is the 1706 to Coventry. The sporting event was a rugby match between local team Wasps (who won) and the London-based Harlequins.
