HBM Rugby Warwickshire 6th February 2024

by Loose_Grip/Pete
Avanti West Coast electric unit 390127 runs into Rugby platform 4 with a southbound passenger service.

The brick buildings on the left date from the 1885 rebuild when the station had 6 platforms. The splendid Victorian iron & glass roof was sadly demolished in the last rebuild & replaced by these rusting tubular things. The station still has 6 platforms but only one is a bay. New platforms 1 and 5/6 are on the Down and Up sides respectively of the original island.

HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start to the new week.

Railway stations are great places for benches but the star attraction here is this train. Well done.

Well, I've been to Warwick...but not to Rugby. Great photo and interesting information. Really too bad about the Victorian iron and glass roof.

HBM and have a wonderful week, Pete.

Hi Pete
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition of the bench, together with lack of passengers!
Best Wishes, HBM, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
