The Great Western Railway opened the present two-platform station in 1908, at the same time as the inauguration of its North Warwickshire Line, which created a new main line route between Birmingham and Cheltenham Spa. It replaced an earlier station that had existed since 1860 on the Stratford-upon-Avon Railway Company's line from Hatton on the Great Western's Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway.
