Plans for new railway station go on show

Plans for a new railway station near Rugby have gone on show.

Warwickshire County Council is running a public consultation on its outline plans for Rugby Parkway Station between January 23 and February 20, ahead of the submission of an application for outline planning permission.

The station will be located on land adjacent to the A428 Crick Road, to the South East of Rugby and on the Northampton loop of the West Coast Mainline between Rugby and Long Buckby stations.

It will be served by two trains per hour in each direction travelling between Birmingham New Street and London Euston.

Cllr Wallace Redford, Warwickshire County Council’s portfolio holder for transport and planning, said: “Rugby Parkway Station is an important part of Warwickshire’s future sustainable transport delivery. Rugby Parkway Station will provide a second access to the local and national rail network making it easier for those who wish to move away from travel by private car to connect with public transport.

“Together, Rugby Parkway and Rugby Station will support Rugby’s growing population and expansion, improving access to employment, education, leisure and travel opportunities for all its residents and businesses.”
