Warwick Parkway is a railway station with park and ride facilities on the western outskirts of Warwick in Warwickshire, England. It also serves the village of Budbrooke. Unusually, the station is not owned by Network Rail[1] but by Warwickshire County Council.[2]
Warwick is also served by the older Warwick railway station in the town centre.
History
Warwick Parkway was opened on 25 October 2000. It was opened with park and ride facilities alongside the A46 and A4177 roads in order to encourage commuters to use the train, and to compensate for the lack of parking spaces at the nearby Template:Rws and Template:Rws stations. It was financially supported by Warwickshire County Council. Planning permission was given for the station in March 1999, following a public inquiry in October 1998.[3]
