      You're welcome. (According to Jaspal, another Coventry-based conductor, Mark Cox & Satvinder Jeerh worked the first Leamington-Coventry shuttle on 30th April 2018. And the female driver from 5:55-5:58 is unknown.)

    Nice video Nick. At last Kenilworth gets its long awaited Station. Why a negative?

    • @nickofkenilworth

      Its not so much a negative as just putting the question out there. Like any business it needs to be viable. Indeed the County Council will be subsidising any losses the station makes for the first 3 years. But personally I hope the station last forever. I woundn't want it to close for a second time. Unthinkable.

      I was referring to the one thumb down. Perhaps there are some folk who will never appreciate the much awaited return of train transport direct to Kenilworth.

      Sorry I misunderstood your comment but I suppose people have varying opinions. Maybe the "thumbs down" person didn't like the way I make films or something?

    All that fuss and excitement and they get a 30 year old one coach class 153.

      @nickofkenilworth  Před 6 lety

      Thanks for the comment. Well, after 53 years without any trains we're quite happy with 153's!
