Aerial view of Rugby No 6 Signal Cabin which was closed in the 1930s as part of economy cuts with its duties being transferred to the adjacent Rugby No 5 Signal Cabin. This was achieved by the simple process of inserting an enlarged lever frame within the existing cabin, but on the opposite side of the cabin in order to ensure the cabin could continue to operate without it being closed. The LMS' frame was of a different design to that of the LNWR's which resulted in the levers being closer together thereby allowing the extra levers required to perform the extra duty being accommodated in the same length of cabin.
