Warwick Parkway Station has celebrated its 25th anniversary since opening.

Warwick Parkway sits on Chiltern's intercity route between London and Birmingham.

The station has been a "significant success story", with 440,000 customers using the station to access regional rail services last year.

Operator Chiltern Railways and Warwickshire County Council hosted a celebration event, which included speeches on the future of rail in Warwickshire, a musical performance by Newburgh Primary School and a plaque unveiling for the station's birthday.

This also formed part of the wider bicentenary of the modern railway.

Richard Allan, managing director of Chiltern Railways, said: "Warwick Parkway is one of the newest stations on the Chiltern network, providing frequent, fast services to London and Birmingham.

"The success story of Warwick Parkway underlines how the railway supports economic activity and personal connectivity.

"In addition to celebrating the station's past, we are excited for the future, including looking forward to customers boarding our newest trains, which will come into service from early 2026."

Warwick Parkway Station opened on 25 October 2000, as a joint partnership between Warwickshire County Council and M40 Trains (Chiltern's parent company at the time).

The station opened with park and ride facilities to encourage commuters to use the train.
