Kenilworth will only get a very local service to start with, but it's a start! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-25349943 |

ALSO THE RICHO ARENA DESPERATELY NEEDS A STATION. The roads are chokka and miserable on match days. On and off plans have been mooted since it was built. Last time I heard- some bright spark had come up with a new idea. 'How about a station for the Arena'.What planet are they on? The railway is just over the road too.Unless - since I last went by a few weeks ago, a new housing estate has sprung up on the spare land. It was more interesting when the gypsies were there.(I shall always regret not taking a photo of that stretch of sofas along the A444 when they were evicted.) |

The Ricoh station is under-way: and certainly not before time! Now, the mention of gypsies... There were two traveller vans there last week at the back of the complex. I noticed they'd gone this week though, but there was no noticeable debris left behind. |

Given the other choice, I'd have gone for the more traditional design too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-30150778 |

That was an interesting read Lex, thanks. Talking stations, it would appear that the Ricoh station is almost ready to open. |

We've waited this long, a few more weeks won't matter much. |

Looks like Kenilworth may not be getting its station at all, at least in the near future: http://www.warwickcourier.co.uk/news/local-news/future-of-kenilworth-station-unknown-in-government-miscalculations-1-6819823 |
