The Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Committee was set up by the London and North Western Railway Company and the Midland Railway Company to construct and run the Ashby and Nuneaton Railway and was formally established by the London and North Western (Ashby and Nuneaton Lines) Act 1867.
The Ashby and Nuneaton Railway had been authorised by the Midland Railway (Ashby and Nuneaton etc) Act 1866 and that part of the authorised line between Colwill and Ashby to Stoke Golding was subsequently constructed.
The part of the 1866 authorisation between Stoke Golding and Nuneaton was replaced by the line authorised by the Midland and London and North Western railway companies (Ashby and Nuneaton) Act 1868.
The new line to run from Stoke Golding to the London and North Western's Trent Valley Line and the Midland Railway's Whitacre and Nuneaton Line, both junctions at Nuneaton.
In 1893 the functions of the committee were taken over by the London and North Western and Midland Joint Committee.
