Description
Polesworth Station in the 1980s | Classic British Rail Trains & Freight.
Take a nostalgic trip back to Polesworth Station in the 1980s, when British Rail ruled the rails and the West Coast Main Line was packed with fascinating trains.
Polesworth may have been a relatively small station, but its position between Tamworth and Nuneaton made it a fantastic location for trainspotting. Express passenger trains thundered through at speed, alongside heavy freight and local services.
Expect classic British Rail traction, blue and grey coaching stock, plenty of freight and all the sights and sounds that made railway spotting in the 1980s so memorable.
How different does Polesworth look today? And did you ever spend time trainspotting here during the British Rail years?
