Notes: Daimler Halt was first opened as a private station on the London and North Western Railway's (LNWR) Coventry–Nuneaton Line. It was built exclusively for employees of the adjacent Daimler Motor Company factory and solved major commuting challenges when private vehicle ownership was low.. The works was served by sidings from the Nuneaton line. It was not on any public timetables. The station was the only private station along the route, not to be used by regular passenger services. Timed train schedules were directly aligned with standard factory shift changes.

The halt was provided with two 300' long facing platforms each with a waiting shelter. The halt had no other buildings initially. Access was down steps from Sandy Lane to each platform.

The Coventry–Nuneaton Line itself opened on 2 September 1850, providing the LNWR with a strategic link to the Trent Valley Railway at Nuneaton and facilitating direct services to Leicester via the Birmingham–Leicester–Peterborough Line.

Original intermediate stations included Coundon Road, Foleshill, Longford & Exhall, Hawkesbury Lane, Bedworth, and Chilvers Coton. Daimler Halt was added later as a private station for workers at the adjacent Daimler Company factory. A further station, Radford Road, was constructed between Coundon Road and Foleshill but never opened to the public, reputedly due to disputes between the LNWR and Coventry City Council.

Although the station building survived for over a century, it never served a scheduled passenger train.

Following the 1923 Grouping, the line became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), passing to British Railways (London Midland Region) upon nationalisation in 1948. The first station closure occurred that year at Longford & Exhall. 

In 1956, following a change to the timetables. Daimler Halt was added to the passenger services schedule. This meant the station became the only other new station to open to passengers on the line. Having previously not been a public station, but a private one. 

After Daimler Halt was made a public station on 11 June 1956, tickets were not available immediately for the station and passengers who wanted tickets to Daimler Halt had to buy a ticket to Foleshill. Eventually, tickets were produced to the halt but passengers travelling from the halt could only purchase hand written tickets from a small ticket office at the bottom of the entrance steps. These offices were only manned during the morning rush hour with booking office staff coming from Foleshill and maybe other stations. At other times the halt was unmanned.

Services along the line and at the remaining intermediate stations were withdrawn from passenger service on 18 January 1965 under the Reshaping of British Railways (Beeching) report. 

Following the closure of Daimler Halt, the Nuneaton platform was repurposed for use as an industrial storage yard with large industrial cable drums, equipment and other types of storage. After it was closed, the platforms were demolished in late 1983/84. 

During the demolition, a digger on the site had accidentally cut through the cables and as a result. This caused disruption to the signalling at Coundon Road Signal Box and Three Spires Junction Signal Box. As a result, a temporary “timed interval” was installed until the cables were fixed after the demolition of Daimler Halt was completed.

Passenger services on the main line were partially restored on 16 May 1987 with the reopening of Bedworth station, followed by the addition of Coventry Arena and Bermuda Park in 2016. 

Despite a 2021 bid for the Restoring Your Railways Fund to reopen Coundon Road, and a 2023 proposal by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) to reopen Foleshill, neither was successful. Proposals persist for the reinstatement of the "dive-under" at Nuneaton to restore the direct Coventry–Leicester link lost during the 2004 WCML upgrades.

Today, nothing remains of Daimler Halt, with the platforms and shelters being demolished long after the closure of the station. 

The company it served, the Daimler Company, closed in 2010, and it was officially dissolved in 2025. After nearly a decade of remaining dormant.
