Kenilworth railway station was a railway station in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England on the Coventry to Leamington Line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Railways of Warwickshire )〕 In 2013 it was announced that the station would reopen in 2016. It first opened in 1844, with both the line and the station then being closed to passengers in 1965〔 as a result of the ''Reshaping of British Railways'' report. Passenger services over the line were restarted in the 1980s but the station was not reopened. What remains of the double track includes a passing loop, and the approaches to and stations. ==Reopening== Proposals for reopening the station have existed for many years. In 2008, CrossCountry and Warwickshire County Council supported the reopening and started to prepare a business case. It was included in 2008–09 Warwickshire Local Transport Plan. On 21 July 2009 it was announced that John Laing plc had been awarded a 20-year contract to design, build, and operate the new station, due to open in 2013. Planning permission was granted on 21 April 2011〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Planning Application WDC/10CC067 )〕 but funding was refused. In late 2011, John Laing successfully asked to withdraw from the contract as there was no funding available for the station construction to go ahead in the immediate future. However, the November 2011 approval for upgrading of the Coventry to Nuneaton route renewed new hope for regeneration of the line through Kenilworth. In February 2013, Warwickshire County Council made a £5 million funding bid to the new fund the government have created to construct or renovate stations. In June 2013 the Department for Transport approved funding for the new station. Secretary of State for Transport Patrick McLoughlin identified a potential opening date of 2016. On 12 December 2013 the DfT reannounced its grant of £5 million toward the station's £11.3 million total cost, and gave the opening date as December 2016. On 4 October 2014 test runs were made between Leamington and Coventry to check timings along the route. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenilworth railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
