The station consists of an integrated rail and bus interchange with secure, cheap parking for 200 cars. It will be served by trains on the Central Trains Birmingham-Leicester line, putting Birmingham, Leicester, Peterborough, Cambridge and Stansted Airport within easy reach of local residents.
The result of an investment package by Warwickshire County Council and John Laing, which will operate the station, it is hoped that Coleshill Parkway will encourage local residents and commuters to park the car and take the train.
Local businesses and the Hams Hall Distribution Park will also be able to take advantage of the new transport hub, with a regular bus service to and from the station. Business people in the region will also be able to benefit from easy access to Birmingham International Airport, while shoppers and day-trippers can take a 12 minute train journey to Birmingham New Street station.
The station will be manned 24 hours a day and will benefit from over 40 CCTV cameras. 
Commenting on the opening of the Coleshill Parkway station and transport hub, Peter Garrood, Coleshill Parkway Project Manager, said: “Coleshill Parkway will be of benefit to the whole community. The transport interchange has been designed to make traveling less stressful, quicker and easier, as well as better for the environment. And we hope that putting a station back into Coleshill will have positive economic benefits for the whole area.”
Cllr Martin Heatley, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for the Environment, said: “This has been a huge project between the county council and partners, and I’m sure many thousands of people will benefit from this new service in the first few weeks alone.”

Cllr Gordon Sherratt, the Mayor of Coleshill, was onsite yesterday to mark the occasion by flagging the first train off with a green flag. The formal station opening will be conducted by a State official next month.

An adult cheap day return to Birmingham New Street will be £3.90 and to Nuneaton £4.70. A return season ticket to Birmingham New Street will cost £17.50 a week

A Network Train Card allowing travel to and from Birmingham and unlimited rail travel in the West Midlands County starts at £23.40 a week.

The new station ticket office will be able to sell the full range of ‘walk on’ fares on demand to any railway station in Great Britain.
