The following is a list of GWR stations, junctions, goods
depots, etc, which at one time were part of the County of Warwickshire. This
includes stations such as the L&NWR's and Midland Railway's stations in
Tamworth which when their stations were first built was part of Warwickshire
but ceded to Staffordshire in 1889. The list also includes a number of stations
from towns and villages which had previously been part of other counties such
as Staffordshire and Worcestershire but after being absorbed into the City of
Birmingham became part of the County of Warwickshire. Examples include Kings
Norton, Bournville, Barnt Green, etc on the Midland Railway's line to
Gloucester. Finally a small number of stations from other counties which were
never part of Warwickshire have been included where their inclusion completes a
route. On example being the Midland Railway's Birmingham to Evesham route where
Evesham, Harvington, Redditch and Alvechurch have been included to complete all
stations along the line. Where a station was known by more than one name we
have endeavoured to list them separately but linked both to the same station
page. As this information is currently incomplete the list will be updated when
we find the information. We have also provided a map showing the railways
within and around the County of Warwickshire as well as providing the
information for each railway company.
