The Lakes is a railway station located on the North Warwickshire Line in the north of Stratford-on-Avon District in Warwickshire, England. The nearest settlement is the village of Earlswood.

Opened by the Great Western Railway as The Lakes Halt on 3 June 1935. The station was built to serve the nearby Earlswood Lakes, which were a popular destination for daytrippers. As it was only designed to cater for local traffic, it was built with relatively short platforms, being only 130 feet (39 metres) long.

Services

The service in each direction between Birmingham and Stratford runs hourly (including Sundays) with most northbound services running through to Stourbridge Junction. It is a request stop: passengers wishing to board a train here must signal to the driver; those wishing to alight must inform the train conductor.[1]
