Rugby transition... - a photo on Flickriver

            47793 ticks over in the Leamington Branch bay at Rugby with my son in his push chair and nephew in the background.

The overall roof has been dismantled, the ornate cast iron support columns have been crudely gas axed, leaving jagged stumps poking out from the ground.

The station has lost its heart and its cathedral like acoustics which I will sorely miss.

It now looks like every other shitty West Coast Main Line station, devoid of character with crappy facilities and cheap bus stop style canopies.

Typically modern, unsympathetic and restricted by cost.

My son Lewis and my nephew David in the background.
