Whitacre Junction railway station
Whitacre Junction railway station was opened in 1864 by the Midland Railway.
The line had been opened in 1839 by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway from Derby, to a south-facing junction with the London and Birmingham Railway just north of Hampton-in-Arden.
Due to increasing traffic, and the inconvenience of having to reverse trains at Hampton-in-Arden to reach Birmingham Curzon Street, a branch was built in 1842 west from Whitacre to a new Midland Railway passenger station at Birmingham Lawley Street. The Midland Railway generally used the London and North-Western Railway Trent Valley Line and Great Northern Railway tracks to reach London, so the line south to Hampton faded into obscurity.
In 1864, the Midland built a new line eastwards to Nuneaton. It is not clear when the original station was built, but it was moved 60 chains further south at this time.〔Pixton, B., (2005) ''Birmingham-Derby: Portrait of a Famous Route,'' Runpast Publishing〕 In 1909 a cutoff line was built between Water Orton and Kingsbury
