A large gap exists between the tracks in the middle of the station, because space was made for a planned island platform which was never built.

Thus, since the station reopened, it has received only a single daily parliamentary service by London Northwestern Railway, in the northbound direction only.

[7] Another derailment of a passenger train occurred at the station on 19 November 1951, which overturned the locomotive and caused minor injuries to two people.

This was blamed on the driver missing a caution signal, and then running over a crossover between the fast and slow lines at excessive speed.

[8] In July 2019 Warwickshire County Council's Draft Rail Strategy for 2019–2034 proposed that a new station called Polesworth Parkway could be opened at a different location in proximity to the A5 and B5000 roads, which if approved could go ahead between 2027 and 2033.
