The morning of 17th February 1981 revealed heavy snow had fallen.

Stockingford Station was situated on the through line from Whitacre Junction to Nuneaton. On 8th October 1962 a three-car Cravens DMU calls with a service from Birmingham New Street to Leicester.

Geoff Dowling.

50390 & 56146 arrive at Lidlington station with the 11.10 Bletchley - Bedford service. The train is about to pass the crossing keepers box, this was well before the line was modernised and it had retained nearly all of it's 'steam age' infrastructure. Geoff Dowling.

Standing at the remote Bearley Junction station is W55003, one of the class 122 Gloucester built units based at Tyseley.
