Coventry

I was confused. Standing on platform 1 at Coventry I could see a Pendolino on platform 3, but heard the engine of a 66. It was 66544, running late with the 4M50 from Southampton to Basford Hall (which ran via Nuneaton). A note in my anorak pocket tells me it was carrying twenty-six 40 foot containers and six 20 foot containers, one of which was a framed tank. Notice how the framing in the foreground puts the lie to Coventry being built of concrete. It's definitely not more than 99%.
