Parking
Despite the old DMU stabling point now being tarmac, parking space here is always at a premium. If you fail to park in the station car parks, there are several side streets where you can try your luck. Failing that, there are plenty of town centre car parks, and the walk is not too strenuous!
Public transport
Amenities
The station boasts toilets and a good café. Leamington itself offers plenty of shops, and cafés, and chain restaurants. For the best sandwich in town, visit 'Something Nice' in Tavistock street, which is behind Tesco Metro.

Photographic notes
The line through the station runs east to west, and as shots can be taken from both directions and from all platforms, no problems should be encountered with the light.
