Kingsbury railway station

[3] At the inquest the jury identified that the means of exit from the station on the down side of the platform was not sufficiently defined, and District Traffic Inspector Carlyle was instructed to lay the matter before the railway company.

On 3 May 1909 the Midland Railway opened a new line of 3¾ miles in length between Water Orton and Kingsbury which enabled express trains to avoid the severe curve on the previous route near Whitacre.

The passenger usage was affected by the introduction by the Midland Red bus of an extra early service on the 116 route which was more convenient than the 1 mile walk to the station.

[12] In 1982 an appeal was launched, supported by the Railway Development Society, to raise funds to build a new station which was estimated to cost around £100,000[13] (equivalent to £445,800 in 2023).

Just to the north of the site towards the still open Wilnecote, is located Kingsbury Terminal, a regional road to rail transport hub.

The co-located European Metal Recycling facility at Kingsbury has rail access, allowing for the scrapping of railway vehicles.
