Rugby Station in May 1992 | Class 31, 47, 86, 87 & EMUs | British Rail Sectorisation

Step back to Rugby Station in May 1992, when this famous West Coast Main Line junction was still very much part of the classic British Rail Sectorisation era. Although the station appears surprisingly quiet in terms of passengers, there is no shortage of railway action albeit in the form of light engines and through trains.

This archive footage captures Rugby before the major station alterations and modernisation of later years, preserving the atmosphere of one of Britain's busiest railway locations at the beginning of the 1990s.

Featured traction includes:

Class 31 diesel locomotives
Class 47s
Class 310 EMUs
Class 86 electric locomotives
Class 87 express locomotives
A variety of BR Sectorisation liveries before privatisation

Watch as InterCity expresses thunder north and south along the West Coast Main Line while local services and electric multiple units add to the everyday operation of this important railway hub.
