View of the scissors crossing taken from Rugby No 3 Signal
Box and looking towards Stafford. This view shows the scissors crossover that
allowed two trains to be held at both the main up and down platforms
independently of each other. This resulted in Rugby having one of the longest
platforms in the UK. The planking is protecting passengers whilst the glass
roof is being restored ahead of electrification. The through line that ran
parallel to the platform line has been lifted at this point but can be seen to
the right of the train. March 1961
