COVENTRY City Council has released images of the proposed new look for the city’s station – which is reported to be the fastest growing outside London.
The £82million scheme will include the creation of a second footbridge to connect all four platforms and extend the platforms, a second entrance onto Warwick Road with step-free access to all platforms, and a multi-storey car-park for 644 vehicles.
An extra platform will allow a half-hourly service to be introduced between Nuneaton and Coventry. A new bus interchange will also be built, connected to the station building via a new access tunnel under Warwick Road.

Funding has also been requested from the West Midlands Combined Authority Devolution Deal.
