Kingsbury railway station was a railway station which served the village of Kingsbury in Warwickshire, England.

History

The station was opened in 1839 with the building of the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway.^[2] The station closed in 1968 under the Beeching Axe.

Present

Since closure, the station building has been demolished, but the station master's house is still to be seen alongside the site of the station.

Just to the north of the site towards the still open {{rws|Wilnecote}}, is located Kingsbury Terminal, a regional road to rail hub transport hub. The co-located European Metals Recycling site at Kingsbury has rail access, allowing for scrapping of railway vehicles. Current contracts include the recycling of 12 of the original British Rail Class 373 Eurostar sets.^[3]

In a document by Transport for West Midlands, it was suggested that Kingsbury could be reopened in the future.^[4]
