Objection for the proposal for train station in Old Milverton because Kenilworth station has not opened for 5 years as there is not train available to stop at Kenilworth and trains passing through wont stop as they are on a tight schedule and have to get to Coventry within a certain time frame. The idea of station in Milverton is not realistic and should be removed from the proposals.

There was suggestion that a train station could be provided in Old Milverton in the proposal.
This is absolute nonsense and should be dropped because Kenilworth station (just 7 KM away) may never open as there is no rolling stock (trains) available to run on the line to stop at Kenilworth and trains passing through wont stop as they are on a tight schedule and have to get to Coventry within a certain time frame.
It has so far taken 5 years and still Kenilworth station is not open. The idea of a station in Milverton is pie in the sky and just being floated to make it more environmental. It's not realistic and should be removed from any speculative proposals.
