History

The first railway station to be built in Rugby was a wooden temporary structure located around half a mile to the west of the present station. It opened in 1838 when the London and Birmingham Railway was constructed. | Jöns Jakob Berzelius, discoverer of protein 1838 was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ... The London and Birmingham Railway (L&BR) was an early railway company in the United Kingdom from 1833 until 1846, at which date it became a constituent part of the London and North Western Railway. ...


This station lasted only a few years. When a junction was made with the Midland Counties Railway in 1840 a new station was built nearer the present station site although still slightly to the west. The Midland Counties Railway (MCR) was an early railway company in the United Kingdom which existed between 1832 and 1844, connecting Nottingham, Leicester and Derby with Rugby and thence to London. ... 1840 is a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ...


The original station had been located at the point where the railway crossed the Rugby to Leicester tollpike road (now the A426) because at the time this was the only road north from Rugby. When the second station was opened, a new road Railway Terrace had to be built to link it to the town centre. Leicester city centre, looking towards the Clock Tower Leicester (pronounced ) is the largest city and unitary authority in the English East Midlands. ... A toll road, turnpike or tollpike is a road on which a toll authority collects a fee for use. ... The A426 road is a road in England which runs from Leicester to Southam in Warwickshire via Lutterworth and Rugby. ...


This second station was effectively managed by two companies - the London and North Western Railway and the Midland Railway - and for this reason grew up in a haphazard fashion. It was at first no more than a temporary wooden structure, but was rebuilt in brick in 1850. This station consisted of platforms at each side of the track with one bay platform. The platforms were rather low and passengers complained of having to perform an "acrobatic feat" to board trains. The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) was formed in 1846 by the merger of three railway companies - the Grand Junction Railway, London and Birmingham and Manchester and Birmingham. ... This article is about the historical British railway company. ... For the game, see: 1850 (board game) 1850 (MDCCCL) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Sunday [1] of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar). ... A bay platform is a railway-related term commonly used in Britain to mean a dead-end platform at a railway station which otherwise consists exclusively (or predominantly) of through platforms. ...


The station was at the centre of a busy junction and often saw chaotic scenes. It featured, only lightly disguised, in Charles Dickens's story Mugby Junction. “Dickens” redirects here. ... Mugby Junction was a short story by Charles Dickens written in 1866. ...


The present station

The second station lasted until the 1880s, when a new line from Rugby to Northampton was built, and it was replaced by the current station which opened in 1885. The station is also a major junction and interchange point on the WCML, being the point where both the Birmingham and Trent Valley sections converge, as well as the point where the Northampton loop diverges from the southbound route towards Euston. // Development and commercial production of electric lighting Development and commercial production of gasoline-powered automobile by Karl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler and Maybach First commercial production and sales of phonographs and phonograph recordings. ...

Today's station consists of one large island platform with tracks on both sides and bay platforms at each end, two at the north end and one at the south. There is also a platform on the south side solely for Birmingham-Bound Services. The island platform is accessed from a tunnel at road level and a ramp leading to the platforms.


The station was noted for an unusual feature, the scissors cross-over which allowed two trains to be in one platform at the same time. The scissors cross-over was an "X" shaped junction which allowed one train to pass another one already in the platform, and call into the same platform ahead of it, and allowed the train to the rear to pull out of the station. A railroad switch is a mechanical installation enabling trains to be guided from one set of rail tracks (or tramway tracks) to another. ...


For this reason the station has one of the longest platforms of any British railway station. The scissors cross-overs were taken out of use when the railway was electrified in the 1960s. The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ...


At its height, as well as the West Coast Main Line, Rugby station served railway lines to Leicester, Leamington Spa, and Peterborough via Market Harborough. In the 1960s all but the West Coast line were closed as part of the Beeching Axe.

When constructed the station had a large steel and glass roof which covered the station platforms and the tracks on eack side. This lasted more than 100 years until the structure became unstable and was replaced in the early 2000s with a modern 'gull wing' roof over the platforms. The 2000s are the current decade, spanning from 2000 to 2009. ...


In 1899 a second station, Rugby Central, was opened in Rugby (see below). To distinguish it from the other station, the present station became known as Rugby Midland. Rugby Central closed in 1969, and Rugby Midland reverted to being called just Rugby in 1975. The remains of Rugby Central Rugby Central was Rugbys station on the Great Central Railway which opened in 1899 and closed in 1969. ...


As a part of the West Coast Main Line modernisation programme, new platforms are being added on both sides of the line at Rugby. It was at one time thought that remodelling of the track layout would entail complete demolition of the present station, but the final plans involved retention of the existing island platform and buildings, but with a new booking hall and ticket office; these works are well in advance and are expected to be finished in 2008. The track upgrades will allow non-stopping trains to run through Rugby Junction at 125mph, thus eliminating another bottleneck from the WCML.


Present upgrade

Currently as of 2007 Rugby station is undergoing a major upgrade [1] which will see three new platforms added to the station, and a new ticket office and entrance. Work began in September 2006 and is due to be completed late in 2008. The new platform on the south side of the station opened for use on May 29, 2007 and as a result all of the platforms have now been renumbered. The new platform has become Platform 1, the former Platform 1 has become Platform 2 and 2 has become 4. The new platforms on the north side of the station will be numbered Platforms 5 and 6. The current Platform 8 will become Platform 3 and the current Platforms 3, 6 and 7 will be removed.

Services

Since 27 September 2004 Silverlink trains have ceased to serve Rugby, that company's services from London now terminating at Northampton. Local services from Northampton to Coventry and Birmingham are now provided by Central Trains. In the period extending to 2008, major track restructuring work is due to be carried out to allow higher speed running through Rugby.

Rugby Central Station

The remains of Rugby Central
The remains of Rugby Central

Rugby Central was Rugby's station on the Great Central Main Line which opened in 1899 and closed in 1969. When it was open, the station had services between London (Marylebone) and Sheffield via Leicester and Nottingham until closure of most of the route in 1966. The section between Rugby Central and Nottingham (initially Victoria, later cut back to Arkwright Street) remained open until 1969. This service was unusual in being self contained - none of the stations were used by trains on any other service.

Rugby Central was situated on Hillmorton Road roughly half a mile east of the town centre. It was a much smaller and less important affair than Midland Station, although it too consisted of an island platform.


The booking office was located at road level, built onto the side of the road bridge over the railway with the platform below. The platform was accessed by a staircase from the booking office.


The station buildings were demolished upon closure, although the platform still exists and can still be seen. The whole of the former Great Central Railway alignment through Rugby is now a nature walk called the 'Great Central Way'.
