Summary : Several schemes had been promoted to use the Trent Valley as a `Birmingham avoiding route', and thus cutting the running time between London and the North-West, before the Trent Valley Railway was authorised in 1845. It opened in 1847 between Rugby and Stafford, where it joined the Grand Junction Railway. The line played a major role in the development of industry North of the line.
