172002 looks smart in its West Midlands Railway livery as it stands at Nuneaton station waiting to work the 19.16 service to Leamington Spa. These services used to just shuttle between Nuneaton and Coventry but with the opening of Kenilworth station, they have been extended through to Leamington. Whilst this service left on time something went wrong later in its journey with it being delayed by a CrossCountry service on the still single section of track between Kenilworth and Leamington that really does need to be re-doubled as it is a bottleneck for services causing multiple delays at times.
