Bermuda Park railway station
Railway station in Warwickshire, England
Bermuda Park railway station is a railway station in the Bermuda area of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England.[1] It serves the Bermuda Park Industrial Estate, on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line between the existing stations at Nuneaton and Bedworth.[2] Funding for the new station was approved in December 2011, along with that for the new Coventry Arena railway station.[3] Both stations opened on 18 January 2016.[4]
A planning application for the station was submitted to Warwickshire County Council in June 2012.[5] Warwickshire County Council subsequently submitted an application to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council for the station in November 2013.[6]
Work on building the station started on 6 October 2014.[7] Work was announced as "nearing completion" in March 2015, with piling completed ready for the platforms to be installed.[8] Having originally been scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2015, the completion of the project was delayed several times.[9] The eventual opening date of Monday 18 January 2016 was announced by train operator London Midland on 15 January 2016.[10][11]
No station previously existed at this site, but the former Chilvers Coton station, which British Railways closed in 1965, was about 1⁄2 mile (800 m) to the north.
