Bulkington was a railway station on the Trent Valley Line serving the village of Bulkington, Warwickshire, England. The station was opened along with the line in 1847, and was closed in 1931.[1]

The station had three platforms; one side platform, and an island platform.[1]

The platforms are long gone, the only surviving remnant of the station today is the former station building alongside the tracks, which is now a private house.[3]

The station building was designed by John William Livock, who designed most of the stations on the Trent Valley Railway. It is one of the few remaining examples of original Livock designed station buildings on the Trent Valley Line. Two others still exist at Atherstone and Colwich.[4]
