It was the first station north of Coventry on the Coventry to Nuneaton Line, and closed in 1965. In January 1857, Coundon Road station became the temporary terminus on the route when the nearby Spon End Viaduct collapsed. The station was rebuilt in 1896 after the original station buildings were destroyed by fire. The Up (Coventry) platform and station master's house can still clearly be seen, with the house now part of Bablake School's site as their foundation's school uniform shop. The Down (Nuneaton) platform is also in situ, although with its platform edging now removed.
