| Video Discription | Welcome to Part 8 of the Ghosts of the Great Central Railway Mainline series. We've visited remains of old junctions, stations, yards, tunnels, viaducts. To finish off this series, we have arrived in the Warwickshire town of Rugby. The GCR arrives into the town through an impressive substantial cutting, which we take a look at at the Ashlawn Cutting and bridge. Then we visit what I think is the jewel of today's filming the whole series. The GCR Rugby Central Station. The tracks have gone and the buildings demolished, but the platform and bridge remain. Plenty to look around here and evidence of the lost railway station. Through trains ceased in 1966 although local trains to Nottingham continued until 1969. ***About this series*** We are visiting various locations on the GCR between Culworth Junction in Northamptonshire and Rugby in Warwickshire. Visiting former station sites, bridges, junctions, old infrastructure, viaducts, tunnels and some other interesting stuff. Great Central Mainline was built as the London Extension of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire railway. Opening in 1899, it was designed to be as straight as possible with as little gradient as possible. Speed was the aim and express trains travelled between London Marylebone, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester. It was the last UK mainline to be built before HS1 over a century later. It thrived initially, however with a lack of upkeep, neglect and dwindling usage, it was mothballed during the great railway rationalisation of Dr Beeching in the 1960s - known as the Beeching Axe. Lost railway artefacts and relics are left scattered along the route.
