A long exposure night photo (top) of Leamington Spa railway station, with an unidentified Chiltern Railways diesel multiple unit creeping into the picture on the far right having recently departed from Banbury.

Serving the Warwickshire town of Royal Leamington Spa, UK, the railway station in Old Warwick Road, has been a constant presence in the town since it was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1852 - rebuilt in 1939.

In March 2008, the railway station booking hall was refurbished and now reflects the original GWR art-deco style.

Large 'running in' boards (platform nameboards) in the GWR-style, have been erected at the 'up' end of platforms 2 and 3, adding more authenticity to the overall look of the station.

In 2003 the railway station buildings and platform structures became Grade II listed.
