The line ran from Whitacre Heath to Hampton and had an intermediate station at Coleshill (later called Maxstoke). From 1839 until 1840 is was a double track Main Line , linking in with the London And Birmingham Railway at Derby Junction, the remains of which can still be seen north of the current LNWR station in Hampton-in-Arden. In 1841 , the second running line was removed, believed to be the first singling in railway history. The line lost its final passenger service in 1917 as a Wartime economy measure. The line was closed in 1935 following a bridge failure in Packwood, however most of the line was used for the storage of disabled Wagon s until the 1950s , when the track was finally removed. |
