Nuneaton to Coventry Branch.

Along the Nuneaton to Coventry Branch, which was a busy branch line in the steam days, because of workers going to and from the car factories in Coventry, there were numerous little stations, Chilvers Coton, Bedworth, Hawksbury Lane, Foleshill, Coundon Road, Daimler Halt (for the DAIMLER FACTORY) and more, what names I have not mentioned, but I wonder how many, if indeed any, are left, perhaps a current railway person on here, who still works along there could tell me.

Have you tried Google maps and had a satellite view of the area?

Thanks mate. When I think back to the steam days when the local service to Coventry and Leamington was so busy to and from all these little stations, if you went at the wrong time or the busy time you had to struggle for a seat.
Not one of those stations ever had empty platforms when the train was due.
It was a busy line.
