Bermuda Park railway station will be a railway station in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England.[1] It will serve the Bermuda Park Industrial Estate, on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line between the existing stations at Nuneaton and Bedworth.[2] Funding for the new station was approved in December 2011, along with that for the new Coventry Arena railway station.[3]

A planning application for the station was submitted to Warwickshire County Council in June 2012.[4] Warwickshire County Council subsequently submitted an application to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council for the station in November 2013.[5]

No station has existed at this site before, but the former Chilvers Coton station, which British Railways closed in 1965, was about 12 mile (800 m) to the north.

Work on building the station started on 6 October 2014.[6]

Work was announced as "nearing completion" on 19 March, piling has been completed ready for the platforms to be installed. [7]
