The first station on the site was Forge Mills opened in 1842 on the Birmingham & Derby Junction Railway. This later changed its name to Coleshill in the 1920s though was closed in 1968.
The new Coleshill Parkway station opened 39 years [1] later nestled deep in an industrial estate and located next to the Hams Hall Rail Freight Terminal. Naturally being a parkway station it has a 200 space car park. It is managed by West Midlands Railway though all of the stopping services are operated by Cross Country.
