The number of passengers using Kenilworth Railway Station has nearly doubled in the last year, according to recent data.

A report published by Steer on behalf of Office of Road and Rail saw a huge jump in travellers across the UK, despite strikes impacting services across the nation.

The study analysed ticket sales during the 12 months between the start of April 2023 and the end of March 2023, and then compared this to the same dates a year earlier.

There were 40 per cent more journeys across the country, the study showed, with 1,385 million made.

According the report there were 139,132 entries and exits at Kenilworth in 2022-23.

This compared to 78,960 the year before and 41,900 the year before that.
