There used to be a southern curve at Anker Mill at Nuneaton under the main WCML (I see from an old OS map).

link follows:County and borough councillor and transport improvement campaigner, David Bill, said: “If the proposals laid out in the Midlands Connect programme are adopted then the direct rail service between Leicester and Coventry will be restored, putting back what was lost when the West Coast Main Line was upgraded a few years ago.
“The advantages to Hinckley travellers are obvious as it could result in direct connections to Nottingham in the north and Leamington and the south-west in the other direction.
“I very much support this move as I have been in support of a direct Coventry-Nottingham service for many years.
