Bedworth railway station serves the town of Bedworth in Warwickshire, England. It is on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line 10 km (6¼ miles) north of Coventry railway station.

The original station in Bedworth was closed and demolished in 1964 when passenger services were removed from the Coventry-Nuneaton line. The present station was officially opened on 10 May 1988 with normal passenger traffic from 16 May 1988, a year after passenger services were restored to the line.

Until a few years ago Bedworth station had direct links to Leicester and the East Midlands. However, as part of changes to track layout at Nuneaton station, the link to the Nuneaton-Leicester line was removed as a result trains on the line currently go between Coventry and Nuneaton only. There is much hope of eventual re-instatement of trackwork at Nuneaton enabling a service to operate.

[edit] Services

There currently is an hourly service from Bedworth to Coventry southbound and Nuneaton northbound.
