Coleshill railway station was a station on the Birmingham to Peterborough Line in England.
It was originally opened in 1842 as Forge Mills by the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway on its line from Whitacre Junction to Lawley Street and renamed in 1923. The station which had previously been called Coleshill was renamed "Maxstoke".[2]
A new station near to the site, called Coleshill Parkway, was opened in 2007.
