Coventry Station in 1962

This video captures Coventry railway station in 1962, shortly after its rebuilding and the introduction of a new signalling system. It shows the types of traffic present at the time, including steam traction alongside early diesel engines and railcars. Electrification would not begin for another five years, and the footage highlights the transition period before the arrival of AC electric services on the main line to Birmingham and London Euston in 1967. The video also references the Trent Valley section of the West Coast Main Line.
