Bearley railway station serves the village of Bearley in South Warwickshire, England. It is on the Leamington–Stratford line. Today it is an unstaffed rural halt, managed by West Midlands Railway.
Bearley was once a junction station (a branch line to Alcester met the Stratford-upon-Avon to Hatton line here). The station dates from 1860, when it opened as part of the Stratford on Avon Railway's Hatton to Stratford branch line - the Alcester branch was added in 1876, but this closed in 1951. Originally a single track station, the line was doubled in 1939 and a second platform built; it reverted to its current status in 1969 when the line was reduced to single track once more.
Bearley station is unstaffed. Tickets must be purchased from the senior conductor or train manager on the train.
There is a small parking area available by the station entrance. Parking is free for rail users.
Step free access is available between the entrance and the platform.
The station is served on Mondays to Saturdays by Chiltern Railways and West Midlands Trains on the Leamington–Stratford line.[1]
The typical Monday to Friday service is as follows:

On Saturdays, 5 West Midlands Railway services to Stratford-upon-Avon call at the station, alongside a two-hourly Chiltern service. 4 WMR services run towards Worcester, while Chiltern provides a service every 2 hours to Leamington Spa.
West Midlands Railway services mainly run during the weekday morning and evening peak and on Saturday morning and evening. All other West Midlands Railway services pass through without stopping.
