It opened in 1854, and was located immediately to the north of the current surviving Leamington Spa railway station, it offered services to Coventry, Rugby and Weedon.

It was opened in February 1854 by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR),[1] three years after the line from Coventry to Leamington was extended from its original terminus at Milverton into the centre of Leamington, and joined end-on to the branch line to Rugby.

[3] Leamington Spa Avenue provided passenger services towards Coventry, Rugby and, from 1895 Weedon via Daventry.

The local passenger services to Weedon were withdrawn in 1958, and those to Rugby in 1959, but the lines remained open a few years longer for freight.

[4] The Coventry line continued for freight, and was diverted into the former Great Western station and the branches towards Rugby and Weedon were closed.
