Railway projects advance with WCC backing

A number of key railway projects across the county are advancing this year, assisted by support and investment from Warwickshire County Council.

Those projects include the construction of the new Bermuda Park Rail Station, which forms part of the NUCKLE 1 rail upgrade that has seen two new stations being built on the Coventry to Nuneaton line.

The station at Bermuda Park is much-needed to enable people and businesses in and around the south of Nuneaton to gain quick and easy access to local, regional and national rail networks. It will also improve access to job opportunities in the Nuneaton-Coventry corridor, including serving Bermuda Park industrial estate. 

The county council is also investing in the construction of a new railway station at Kenilworth as part of a major rail-enhancement scheme designed to encourage economic regeneration between Nuneaton and Leamington Spa. A new passenger service from Coventry to Leamington will mean that Kenilworth passengers will be able to access a wide number of destinations with just one change. The new station will bring numerous benefits to Kenilworth, attracting visitors and improving the local economy.

Major improvements are also on the way to Stratford’s town railway station thanks to significant support from London Midland and Warwickshire County Council. Stratford station passengers can look forward to a new café, waiting room and retail area.

Warwickshire County Council is committed to ensuring that communities benefit from excellent communications and transport infrastructure - and this commitment has been demonstrated by their backing of these projects throughout the county.
