Fare evaders at Nuneaton Train Station face being blocked from boarding trains without a valid ticket.
The railway hub is due to receive ticket barriers designed to prevent people from travelling without paying.
It has been announced that new ticket barriers will be fitted at stations and platforms throughout England, focusing on locations known for high levels of fare dodging.
West Midlands Trains is expected to receive part of a £33.4m Department for Transport grant to fund these barriers, which includes higher barriers to stop people leaping over them and additional standard waist-height barriers similar to those found on the London Underground.
Nuneaton is among four stations in the Midlands region due to receive the barriers, with the nearby town of Tamworth also on the list.
The Rail Minister, Lord Peter Hendy, stated that fare evasion causes real harm and erodes trust in the rail network while costing millions in potential revenue that could be spent enhancing services for all travellers.
He explained that by preventing fare evaders before they reach the platform, taxpayer money is being safeguarded, investment in the rail network is being supported, and the interests of the millions of passengers who legitimately pay for their journeys are being protected.
He added that as significant reforms to the railways are implemented ahead of the establishment of Great British Railways, a fully integrated rail system is being created that is more transparent and better positioned to provide the dependable, modern service that passengers expect, while supporting employment, economic growth and housing development.
