Trains to Rugby - Station Details and further Information on Rugby Train Services

Rugby train station serves the town of Rugby in Warwickshire, England. It opened during the Victorian era, in 1885, replacing earlier stations situated a little further west. Since the closure of the station on the now-abandoned Great Central Railway route through the town, it is Rugby's only station.

Situated on the West Coast Main Line connecting London to Birmingham and the North West, the present station, managed by Virgin Trains, is located roughly half a mile north of Rugby town centre. On the West Coast Main Line as a whole, it is located 82 miles north of London Euston, and 319 miles south of Glasgow Central.

Main line train services into Rugby are operated by Virgin Trains. There are regular services to London, Birmingham and Crewe with limited direct services to/from North West, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and Holyhead.

Local services from London / Northampton to Coventry and Birmingham are provided by London Midland. In December 2005 Silverlink and Central Trains (the previous franchise holders) jointly introduced an infrequent semi-fast Euston / Northampton to Crewe / Liverpool service via the Trent Valley Line as a precursor to the revamped hourly services introduced in December 2008. This service is now also operated by London Midland.

The station gets one Virgin West Coast train to/from London per hour, usually a Birmingham New Street service, with a few additional trains, mainly during the peaks.

As a part of the West Coast Main Line modernisation programme, major track restructuring work was carried out to allow higher speed running through Rugby; three new platforms were added, along with a new ticket office and entrance. Work began in September 2006 and was completed late in 2008.

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. The track upgrades allow non-stopping trains to run through Rugby Junction at 125 mph, thus eliminating another bottleneck from the WCML.

The platform on the south side of the station opened for use on 29 May 2007 and as a result all of the platforms were renumbered. This platform became Platform 1, the former Platform 1 became Platform 2 and 2 became 4. The additional platforms on the north side of the station are numbered Platforms 5 and 6 and they opened on 27 August 2008. Platform 8 became Platform 3. The platforms originally numbered 3, 6 and 7 were removed.
