'Royal' haulage for Wasps 'Ruggex'

            Passenger services on the Coventry to Nuneaton line are usually handled by a Class 153 DMU, which provides a problem on days when there is an event or match at the Ricoh Arena, for which a new station has just been provided. Coventry Arena, as it is now known, has short platforms which can accommodate no more than four coaches. Until a long term solution to the potential overcrowding and associated crowd management issues could be found it was intended that the station would be closed for roughly an hour before and after any event at the 'Ricoh'. However, Wasps RUFC who now have a long lease on the stadium and London Midland have combined to put on a series of special trains in association with Wasps games against Harlequins on 28th February and Leicester Tigers on 12th March. On 28th February 2016 DBS Class 67 No. 67006 'Royal Sovereign' (top and tailing with classmate No. 67028) is seen departing from Coventry Arena with 2T01 1218 Coventry - Nuneaton at the head a six Riviera ex-Anglia mark 2 coaches forming the first of 6 return workings prior to kick-off.
