Work over the next four weeks will include getting rid of various plants and trees on the site and preparations for connecting services.

The footbridge over the railway tracks will be out of use from Friday October 14 for refurbishment.

Construction officially began on Friday July 29 after years of trying to get the project off the ground.

The station should be operating in August 2017 with an hourly service between Coventry and Leamington run by London Midland.

Network Rail has not committed to installing a twin track in the future, but the station will be able to accommodate one if things change.
