Background to the scheme
We are developing plans for a second railway station for Rugby.
Rugby Parkway Station will revitalise the rail experience for the people of Rugby and beyond by providing a new access to the local and national railway network and support Rugby’s growing population and business community.
Rugby Parkway Station will:
- Ease congestion on the road network around Rugby Town Station by providing a second access to the local and national rail network for residents and businesses in Rugby
- Provide a direct rail service to London, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Coventry and Birmingham, and a circa five minute journey time into Rugby itself
- Support a shift from private car use to rail for all or part of a journey and link with local bus, cycle and walking routes for sustainable travel options. Movement to and from the station via the new highway access design will deliver convenient and safe access for all modes of travel across Crick Road and support existing active modes of travel (such as walking and cycling)
- The station site layout will integrate access for sustainable modes of travel into and around the site
- Be a step-change for businesses, supporting economic growth and improving accessibility to employment sites within Rugby and the adjacent DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) site
- Improve access to employment, education, leisure and travel opportunities for residents and businesses supporting Rugby’s growing population
