Bedworth railway station serves the town of Bedworth in Warwickshire, England. It is on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line 6¼ miles (10 km) north of Coventry railway station.

The original station in Bedworth was closed and demolished in 1965 when passenger services were removed from the Coventry-Nuneaton line. The present station was officially opened on 10 May 1988 with normal passenger traffic from 16 May 1988, a year after passenger services were restored to the line.

Until 2004 Bedworth station had direct links to Leicester and the East Midlands. However, as part of changes to track layout at Nuneaton station, the link to the Nuneaton-Leicester line was removed. As a result, trains on the line currently go between Coventry and Nuneaton only. There is much hope of eventual re-instatement of trackwork at Nuneaton enabling a service to operate again.

Services

There currently is an hourly service from Bedworth to Coventry southbound and Nuneaton northbound.
