In September 2019, I visited Coventry for the first time. And I can easily say that the train journey was the worst one I ever had! On top of the rain, my second train was so jam-packed that I could barely get off, and it didn't properly connect with the next train at Nuneaton. And on the way back, I was held up at Nuneaton again due to a broken signal! Nevertheless, I made it and brought back these photos.
