Rugby station, exit from platform 2 location

[LUL1970]

Good Afternoon,

I may be travelling on a late night Avanti service from Euston and will have to change at Rugby for a RRB to Birmingham New Street. Can anyone recommend which would be the closest carriage of an 11 car Pendolino to the exit from platform 2 for a head start in the rush to the replacement bus.

Thanks in advance

I’d say around the part where it changes from first to standard class.

Well coach 6 from the front on a 730, so similar on a pendo.

On an 11, rear of coach F. On a 9, front of G.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll let you know how it goes if I do travel

As mentioned if youre on a 11 car then being in unreserved coaches G or U should put you almost in pole position.

Am on Rugby station platform 2 right now! The circular spot with “3” on it is nearest to the ramp down to the bottom! Front of Coach G on a 9-car, back of Coach F on an 11-car should do it!

This doesn't match the photos of the poster you attached, a 9 car doesn't have a coach G for a start.

Back of coach G on a 11 car and back of Coach J on a 9 car according to the poster. Making special note of the two diagrams for a 9 car dependent on which way you are travelling.
