After my original visits to Rugeley B with @SpiderMonkey , we were keen to get back and see a bit more of the place. It's a really nice station, big but not too big, characterful and has a really nice feel to it. Quite a change in feel from visiting while the cooling towers were still steaming and workers were wondering around the turbine hall. Now much more chilled, in the company of @PROJ3CTM4YH3M and @Ojay, we got around lots of other areas - not really anything that hasn't been covered before, but here's my take on the place...

^ Well without the permission visits of the former urbex_nate :rolleyes:

Did I tell you he got caught and had to name drop before he came on here pretending he had epics ;)

I have to say this place made up for some of the bit's that were lacking in others, mental times and some superb pics you've pulled from the place mate, even the modernised control room was still quite funky :thumb

Groovy. We were about to run across the road to the medical centre and bath house (near the base of the chimney) but one of those ghostly electric buggies they drive appeared and we were forced to retreat. Bet there's more to see here though a la Ironbridge.
