There is a little bit of brickwork on the downside by the road bridge, that may be the last remains of the station. Apart from the loading dock on the other side of the A5 bridge. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdlcs Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Wonder what that was that was being cut? My initial thought was a side from a ballast hopper, but perhaps not. Also wondered how they determined what size to cut the pieces into? Was it by weight, dimensions, or something else? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobering to think that the 4-Cor EMU on the right was older than the Bulleid pacific - but was still in service several years after steam had gone. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 11, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2020 Is that really on the Up side at Rugby? While the lady is purest totty, I seem to think there ought to be a wall opposite on the Up side in 1982. I believe I have joined a train once at Rugby. My boss in 1991 lived there, had a back problem that day, so I'd been to a meeting 'chez lui'. Deb was on the way back from Glasgow, and without telling her I managed to join her train. As I opened the vestibule door, she looked up..... Odd, how we know. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's the upside Ian, the horse dock is there in the background with a 310 in the carriage sidings behind it, the high brick wall is just off to the left, holding up the roof! The horse dock is still there today, clinging on a bit longer. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly not great in a smash but good visibility Hopefully the good visibility helped you avoid the crash! Warships, including the D6xx type, and Westerns were pretty skimpy in this area as well, as were the D61xx. The sort of crash which involves the loco turning upside down or having something heavy land on top of the cab is arguably not survivable anyway. Standard practice, if you'd done all you could and had time, was to hide in the engine room, and on Westerns this was two doors, a flight of steps, and corridor with a corner away! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
