Trains to Nuneaton - Station Details and further Information on Nuneaton Train Services
Nuneaton train station serves the large town of Nuneaton in Warwickshire, England. The station is managed by London Midland. On the West Coast Main Line, there is generally only a peaktime and evening service from London Euston to Liverpool Lime Street that stops at Nuneaton operated by Virgin Trains. Regular Trent Valley services are provided by the London Midland semi-fast trains between Euston and Crewe via Northampton and Stafford. There are also two trains per hour, operated by CrossCountry, westbound to Birmingham New Street and eastbound to Leicester with an hourly service to Stansted Airport. Finally, there is an hourly shuttle service southbound to Bedworth and Coventry, operated 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 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 train station.
In 2004 two extra platforms were built on the site of the former goods loop and engineers' sidings. These new platforms - 6 and 7 - were to accommodate the Birmingham - Leicester - Stansted Airport services and reduce the number of conflicting movements across Nuneaton South Junction. This work also removed the pointwork which had allowed trains to run from Coventry to Leicester via a reversal at Nuneaton. |
