2 unusual facts about Nuneaton Abbey Street railway station


Nuneaton railway station

It was known, during the period (1924–1969) as Nuneaton Trent Valley, to distinguish it from the now closed Nuneaton Abbey Street station, but it is now Nuneaton's only railway station, though many local people still refer to it as Trent Valley.

A second station, Nuneaton Abbey Street, was opened in 1873 to link the nearby cities of Birmingham and Leicester and also to link Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Coalville via the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway in order to access the large coal reserves located there.
