Coventry - Gosford Green Line before the dual carriageway
Humber Road Junction was closed in 1963, after goods traffic dwindled, and so the branch became a long siding from Three Spires Junction. The last traffic to the Chrysler factory ended in 1981, and the rest of the branch closed in September that year. The track was lifted in 1982. Much of the former trackbed of the line has since been built over as part of the A444 Phoenix Way.
This video explores the historical Coventry Loop Line, a freight-only railway branch that connected Three Spires Junction on the Coventry–Nuneaton Line to Humber Road Junction on the Coventry–Rugby Line. Built in 1914, it served local industries with two goods stations at Bell Green and Gosford Green but never operated scheduled passenger services. The line was eventually closed in the early 1980s after declining freight traffic, with its trackbed later repurposed as part of the A444 Phoenix Way.
