Nuneaton railway station

Nuneaton railway station serves the large town of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England. The station is managed by London Midland.

It is situated at the point where the Birmingham - Leicester route crosses the Trent Valley Line section of the West Coast Main Line 156 km (97 miles) north of London Euston, with a branch running to Coventry. It was known, during the period (1873–1964) when Nuneaton Abbey Street station was open, as Nuneaton Trent Valley, but it is now Nuneaton's only railway station.

he station was opened in 1847 when the London North Western Railway opened the Trent Valley section of the West Coast Main Line in order to avoid the congested areas of Coventry and Birmingham. A second station, Nuneaton Abbey Street, was opened in 1873 to link the nearby towns of Birmingham and Leicester and also to link Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Coalville via the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway in order to access the large coal reserves located there.
