Bedworth railway station serves the town of Bedworth in Warwickshire, England. It is on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line {{convert|6.25|mi|0}} north of Coventry railway station. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains. HistoryOriginal stationThe 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] ReopeningBR 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 (approximately £479,000 in 2014 prices [1]). Half of the cost was met by Warwickshire County Council and Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.[2] Until 2004 Bedworth station had direct links to {{rws|Leicester}} 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. As a result, trains on the line currently run between Coventry and Nuneaton only. UpgradeOn 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.[3][4] The platform lengthening was completed in early 2015 and two new stations on the line, Bermuda Park and Coventry Arena, opened in January 2016. ServicesBedworth is served by hourly trains in both directions between Coventry and Nuneaton. All services on the line are operated by a single Class 153 Sprinter unit.[5] GalleryReferences1. ^Bank of England inflation calculator 2. ^1 {{cite book|last=Hurst|first=Geoffrey|title=LNWR Branch Lines of West Leicestershire & East Warwickshire|publisher=Milepost Publications|date=1993|edition=First |isbn=0-947796-16-9}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-16180361|title=Coventry to Nuneaton rail upgrade given go ahead|date=14 December 2011|publisher=BBC|accessdate=14 December 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Coventry to Nuneaton rail upgrade approved|url=http://www.coventry.gov.uk/news/article/247/coventry_to_nuneaton_rail_upgrade_approved|publisher=Coventry City Council|accessdate=8 April 2013}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.railnews.co.uk/news/2016/02/11-london-midland-hires-rolling-stock.html|title=London Midland hires rolling stock to plug sports gap|date=11 February 2016|work=Railnews|accessdate=24 August 2016}} External links{{commons category|Bedworth railway station}}{{stn art lnk|BEH|CV128JG}}
