Nuneaton Trainspotting Pt 2 OHL Diversions + Test Units + Passenger & Freight Variety
This part starts with something rare: the first three clips show trains using opposite platforms to normal due to damage to the overhead wires between Rugby and Nuneaton. Northbound trains were routed through Platform 4 (normally southbound), creating some very unusual workings for railfans and spotters alike.
