SRA West Midlands Route Utilisation Strategy

On 21st July 2005 the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) published their Route Utilisation Strategy for the West Midlands (WMRUS).

Kenilworth is mentioned in section 5.6.2, Stakeholder aspirations for new stations:

“Kenilworth would lie midway between Leamington Spa and Coventry on the largely single-track line. It is an aspiration of Warwickshire County Council. There is very little spare capacity on the route and only long distance trains use it. A case would need to be made for a new station and additional route capacity. Additional train capacity may also be needed. The SRA has not seen a business case and is therefore unable to support the development of Kenilworth Station..”

As a realistic campaign group ASK expect a business case to be needed for the station, and expect the county council draw one up in due course.

In response to the WMRUS consulation draft ASK wrote A Case for Kenilworth Station. This is not meant to be a business case, merely a layman’s appraisal of the evidence in favour of a station in Kenilworth. In addition to this, Warwickshire County Council (WCC) made their own response that covers Kenilworth Station as well as other issues.
