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.
