The station opened in 1844 under the name of Leamington and was the original terminus of the then single line from Coventry. In 1851 the line was extended through to Rugby and in 1854 a new station was opened called {{stnlnk|Leamington Spa (Avenue)}}, closer to the town centre and directly alongside Leamington's GWR station (which is still in operation).The station was rebuilt when the line was doubled in 1884.[2][4] The station was closed as a part of the Beeching closures in 1965, although the line remained and remains open. Name changesMilverton station was originally intended as a compromise to serve both Warwick and Leamington Spa, however it was never very successful at serving either, as it was located some distance from the centres of both towns. This was reflected in the multiple name changes throughout the station's life, detailed below:[2]
