Who remembers the Nuneaton Drags.
In the early days you would get all sorts of locos on the front like 58s, but then they started to use just class 47s, and after that with the Virgin 57s.
This video discusses the historical Nuneaton Drags, a practice that took place on Sundays when the line between Birmingham and Rugby was closed. Trains were then diverted via Water Orton to Nuneaton. Initially, various locomotives such as 58s were used, but later only class 47s were employed, followed by Virgin Trains' 57s. The video provides insight into this unique railway operation involving locations including Nuneaton, Rugby, and Water Orton, with operators EWS and Virgin Trains involved.
