The Bermuda industrial estate has seen a number of measures to reduce carbon emissions - a cycle path, new footpaths, traffic lights on a major roundabout. A new station is scheduled for completion in December 2013 - about where the approaching 153 can be seen in the centre background of this south-facing view. Notice the curve of the road in the foreground - this is the approximate course of the old branch line to the Bermuda collieries.

View north east at Three Spires Junction on 30 August 2011, with Freightliner 66542 approaching Coventry from Nuneaton on a container train. The line to the left serving the Prologis Industrial Park looks a little underused. Coventry City's Ricoh stadium in the background, standing alongside the line, is woefully under-provided with car and coach parking. A new station here should be completed by December 2013.
