Bilbrook railway station is a railway station which serves the large village of Bilbrook in Staffordshire, England. This unstaffed station is a little unusual in that the platforms are staggered either side of a road overbridge.
It was known as Birches and Bilbrook Halt when opened, being renamed to Bilbrook on 6 May 1974.[1]
Services[]
Bilbrook is typically served Monday to Sunday by one train per hour in each direction between Birmingham New Street and Shrewsbury via Wolverhampton, with some extra trains at peak times on weekdays.[2][3] These services are operated by West Midlands Trains under the 'West Midlands Railway' brand using British Rail Class 170 Diesel Multiple Units, which will be replaced by British Rail Class 196 DMUs in 2021. [4]
Facilities[]
The station is unstaffed, but there is a ticket machine on platform 1 and covered waiting areas on both platforms. [5] There is a nearby bus stop with services operated by National Express West Midlands.
