Rugby Parkway Station Development

project in planning

The Rugby Parkway Station project involves Warwickshire County Council seeking private sector partners—such as infrastructure investors, developers, contractors, and lenders—to finance, deliver, and maintain a new railway station on the eastern edge of Rugby as the initial phase of a broader portfolio of new stations aimed at unlocking social and economic benefits. Having reached an advanced stage with all land acquired, outline planning consent granted, outline design accepted by Network Rail, and Network Change completed, the scheme would proceed under a long-term concession of approximately 30 years, funded through a blended structure of investor equity and commercial bank debt, while sharing certain risks to optimize the overall financing approach. This market engagement initiative tests industry appetite for such opportunities and guides the Council's commercial and procurement strategy.
