Hampton-in-Arden railway station serves the village of Hampton-in-Arden in the West Midlands of England. It is situated on the West Coast Main Line between Coventry and Birmingham. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains. HistoryThe present station dates from 1884, when it was built by the London and North Western Railway (L&BR). It replaced an earlier station dating from the opening of the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837 which was located approxiamtely {{convert|470|m|yd}} further north-west.[1] From 1839, Hampton-in-Arden became a junction at the southern end of the Stonebridge Railway (part of the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, itself one of the constituents of the Midland Railway). This line, which connected with the Birmingham-Derby line at Whitacre Heath, closed to passengers in 1917 and completely in 1935. Prior to the opening of nearby Birmingham International station in 1976, fast trains between Birmingham New Street and London Euston called at Hampton-in-Arden, to provide a stop between Birmingham and Coventry and to serve Birmingham Airport. Evidence of the stopping of these longer trains remains with the exceptionally long platforms. The original L&BR station booking hall building still stands today on Old Station Road. This small red brick building is a Grade II listed building and is a rare surviving example of architecture from the beginning of the railway age. It is one of two remaining intermediate station buildings in Britain from the early railways, the other being the original Watford station in Hertfordshire.[2] ServicesOn Mondays to Saturdays, Hampton-in-Arden is served by two trains an hour to Birmingham New Street and two to London Euston (via Northampton). Some peak period and evening trains start or terminate at Coventry or Northampton and there is a single late evening through train to {{rws|Wolverhampton}} and {{rws|Crewe}} (except on Saturdays). On Sundays, there is an hourly service between Birmingham New Street and Euston via Northampton.[3] References1. ^{{NHLE|num=1076675|desc=Old Station Bungalow|access-date=20 March 2019}} {{rail start}}{{rail line two routes |previous=Berkswell|next=Birmingham International |route1=West Midlands Railway2. ^{{cite web |title=Notes and Extracts on the History Of The London & Birmingham Railway - Chapter 11: The Stations |url=http://gerald-massey.org.uk/Railway/c11_stations.htm |website=The Train Now Departing |accessdate=20 March 2019}} 3. ^GB eNRT 2015-16 Edition, Table 68 (Network Rail) Rugby-Birmingham-Stafford Line |col1={{WMT colour}} |route2=London Northwestern Railway London-Birmingham |col2={{LNW colour}}}}{{disused rail insert}}{{rail line |next={{stnlnk|Maxstoke}} Line and station closed |route=Midland Railway Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway |col={{MR colour}} }}{{s-end}} External links{{commonscat}}{{stn art lnk|HIA|B920BH}}
