Stations, Junctions, Goods Depots, etc, in the County of Warwickshire

The following is a list of Stations, Junctions, Goods Depots, etc, which at one time were part of the County of Warwickshire. This includes stations such as the L&NWR's and Midland Railway's stations in Tamworth which, when their stations were first built, were part of Warwickshire but later ceded to the County of Staffordshire in 1889. The list also includes a number of stations from towns and villages which had previously been part of other counties such as Staffordshire and Worcestershire but after being absorbed into the City of Birmingham became part of Warwickshire (until 1st April 1974 when Birmingham became part of the new West Midlands Metropolitan County Council which was scrapped in 1986). Examples include Kings Norton, Bournville, Barnt Green, etc, on the Midland Railway's line to Gloucester. Finally a small number of stations from other counties which had never been part of Warwickshire have been included where we think their inclusion is appropriate by completing a route. One example being the Midland Railway's Birmingham to Evesham route where Evesham, Harvington, Redditch and Alvechurch have been included on our route map. We have also included stations on the Harborne line as being part of the London & North Western Railway's list because whilst the Harborne Railway was independently owned until 1923, when it was absorbed into the LMS, it was operated from the outset by the L&NWR. In instances where the name of a station changed over time we have endeavoured to list each name separately but with all linking to the same appropriate page providing the description and photographs. As we are continually finding new information the lists will be updated as and when we find the information. We have also provided a map showing the railways within and around the County of Warwickshire as well as providing the information for each railway company.
