About your departure station
Dating to 1847 with the Trent Valley Railway, Polesworth served Warwickshire's coal mining districts.
The station's simple design reflected industrial needs.
Closed in 1965 but reopened in 1996 due to community campaigning, it's a rare Beeching reversal success.
Handling 25,000 annual passengers, it serves local commuters.
Polesworth's revival demonstrates how changing transport needs can justify restoring closed stations, particularly where new housing or altered work patterns create fresh demand.
Its story offers hope for other communities seeking to regain rail connections lost during mid 20th century cuts.
