History

Original station

The original Bedworth station in 1961. It was closed in 1965.

The original Bedworth station operated between 1850 and 1965. The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) opened the station, along with the Coventry to Nuneaton Line on 12 September 1850.

On 18 January 1965 British Railways (BR) withdrew passenger services from the line and closed Bedworth station, along with all of the other intermediate stations on the line.[1]

Reopening

BR resumed passenger services on the line in 1987 and reopened Bedworth station in 1988. The official opening was on 10 May 1988 and normal passenger services operated from 16 May 1988. The rebuilt station was constructed on the site of the original, and was built with platforms long enough to hold a three coach train. The construction cost in 1988 was £200,000 (Шаблон:Inflation)Шаблон:Inflation-fn. Half of the cost was met by Warwickshire County Council and Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.[1]

Until 2004 Bedworth station had direct links to Шаблон:Rws and the East Midlands. However, as part of changes to the track layout at Nuneaton station, the link to the Nuneaton to Leicester Line was removed and thereafter trains on the line ran between Coventry and Nuneaton only.

Upgrade

On 14 December 2011, the UK Government announced an £18.8 million project to upgrade the line, that includes Bedworth platforms being lengthened and the service frequency being upgraded from hourly to half-hourly.[2][3] The platform lengthening was completed in early 2015 and two new stations on the line, Bermuda Park and Coventry Arena, opened in January 2016.

Services

Bedworth is served by hourly trains northbound to Шаблон:Rws and southbound to Шаблон:Rws via Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws. On Sundays, hourly services operate from after 10am.[4]
