Daimler Halt was a railway halt in Coventry, England, built by the London and North Western Railway in 1917 and closed in 1964.[1]
It was unusual in that it was built solely for use of employees of the Daimler Company. It became a public station in 1956.[2] There were no station buildings with the exception of rain shelters on the platforms.
