Introduction

Opened as part of the West Coast Modernisation Scheme in 1962, Coventry PSB controls the line from just south of Birmingham International, through Coventry station to a point 2 miles south of it. The box also controls the single line to Leamington, and the junction with the branch to Nuneaton. Although the control area is small, the signaller is kept busy by 16 passenger trains each hour for most of the day, plus freight workings. However, the small area, plus the lack of level crossings in the modern era, makes this an excellent simulation for newcomers moving on from Royston.

Coventry is a Payware simulation- to play beyond a short demo period requires the purchase of a license from the Shop .
