Wilnecote Station

LMS Route: Birmingham New Street to Tamworth

Wilnecote Station was open by the Birmingham and Derby Joint Railway in May 1842 although its full title until 1904 was Wilnecote and Fazeley Station. The station was built adjacent to Wattling Street on the now A5 and is approximately 1½ miles south of Tamworth and is literally on the edge of Warwickshire's border.
