Why?
However Kenilworth won't have a direct London service so maybe people will still drive to Warwick Parkway?
I will start by pointing one important thing and that is in the rush hour from the centre of Kenilworth it can take 30 minutes+ to get to Coventry/Warwick Parkway/Leamington in the rush hour! Leamington or Coventry stations will be less than 10 minutes by train. Even waiting for 20 Minutes will still be a combined 30 minutes.
Yes as I here the will be no direct train to London.
The plan I believe will be for 2 100m platforms with room to add another 100m if required that equites to 8 Class350 cars.
Virgin will not be happy to let Chiltern anywhere near Coventry so service will probably be run by LM who are the train operater involved with the project.
Hopefully things should be in place for the project to move forward soon.
Train service will be at least be hourly Nuneaton to Leamington which is phase 2of project Nuckle. Other services would be an extension of a Coventry terminater. I know its been suggested that the are no off peak coventry terminating trains but between now and 2016/17 the timetables at both ends could be altered or recast so I would suggest the will be at least an hourly Leamington to New Street service. I have hurd a few people mention Walsall!
If and When HS2 is completed the the slowing down or removal of the need for speed on West Coast or Chiltern/Cherwell Valley lines could lead increased local trains on Coventry Corridor as well as extra services for Leamington to Banbury?Oxford/Reading on one of the most overcrowed sections of line.
Kenilworth station will change the fortunes of this town and will be used by plenty to get out from here. I live 8 minutes from the station sight and work about 5 minutes from Leamington Station so i will use the train, as will plenty of others I know. it will also bring plenty in as the tourist guides refer to the place as 'Warwickshires Best Keeps Secret'.
I can't wait. Bring it on.
