Future proposals

In July 2019, Warwickshire County Council's Draft Rail Strategy for 2019–2034 proposed that a new station called Polesworth Parkway could be opened at a different location in proximity to the A5 and B5000 roads. If approved, building could go ahead between 2027 and 2033. No mention is made of what could happen to the existing station. [9]
