Lines serving Rugby

Rugby is on the West Coast Main Line. That page has the whole route, every station on it and how busy each one is.

Freight through Rugby station, hour by hour

Freight is booked through or alongside Rugby station on 807 paths in the week beginning 12 October 2026: 150 paths on the Wednesday, 97 paths on the Saturday and 9 paths on the Sunday. 72 of them run whatever the traffic; the rest are held in the timetable and used only when there is something to move. The busiest hour is 02:00 to 03:00 on the Wednesday, with 13 paths booked.

The grid counts the goods trains booked to pass in each hour of the week beginning 12 October 2026: the darker the hour, the more paths, and a dot marks an hour with at least one path that runs regardless. Engineering trains, empty stock and light engines are not counted. Across Britain only about a fifth of booked freight paths run on a given day, so a booked path is a possibility rather than a promise; the freight statistics page explains how that is measured.
