No feature on the class 25s could miss out Nuneaton. An important junction on the Trent Valley mainline it once paid host to marshalling yards and a loco depot. By the mid 1980s it still retained a train crew depot and holding sidings and the, albeit truncated, yards still featured heavily in the granite traffic from local quarries, much going for railway ballast use. One of those, Croft Quarry is on the Nueaton-Leicester line and still sends out rail traffic today. On 12th February 1986 25032 pauses at Nuneaton Trent Valley while working the 7K03 1030 Croft quarry-Crewe Gresty Lane loaded working.
