Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rugby Central was a railway station serving Rugby in Warwickshire on the former Great Central Main Line which opened in 1899 and closed in 1969. It competed with the existing West Coast Main Line route for traffic to London which had served Rugby since the 1830s. The station was opened on 15 March 1899. The station had services between London (Marylebone) and Sheffield via Leicester and Nottingham. Most of the Great Central line was closed on 5 September 1966 under the Beeching axe. On this date, the line south of Rugby Central and north of Nottingham was closed. The section between Rugby Central and Nottingham (initially Victoria, later cut back to Arkwright Street) remained open as self-contained branch carrying a local passenger service until 3 May 1969 when the station formally closed. In February 2009, talks began on the possibility of re-opening the line from Rugby to Aylesbury.
