Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox station Wootton Wawen railway station serves the village of Wootton Wawen in Warwickshire, England. It is served by trains between Kidderminster and Stratford-upon-Avon via Birmingham.
The station was renamed from Wootton Wawen Platform to Wootton Wawen on 6 May 1974.[1] Under British Rail, the station was threatened with closure in 1985 (along with the line between Henley-in-Arden and Bearley Junction).[2] The plans were dropped in 1987 and the line remains open.

A normal service operates on most Bank holidays.
