Marston Green railway station is located in the suburb of Marston Green, in the borough of Solihull, West Midlands, England. It is the nearest station to Chelmsley Wood. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Trains.

History[]

The station opened on 9 April 1838^[1] as part of the LNWR's line between Birmingham New Street and Coventry. Unlike many of the other small rail stations constructed in the mid 19th century around Birmingham, Marston Green station has remained open to passengers since it was opened. However, none of the railway station's original features remain, having been replaced during the 1970s.

Facilities[]

The station has a ticket office located on platform 1 which is open Monday-Thursday 06:15-19:00, Friday 06:15-20:00, Saturday 08:00-20:00 and Sunday 09:00-14:00. When the ticket office is open tickets must be purchased before boarding the train. Outside of these times there is a ticket machine on platform 2 which accepts card payments only - cash and voucher payments can be made to the senior conductor on the train.

The railway station is adjacent to bus stops, where buses towards Birmingham, Solihull, Chelmsley Wood, Small Heath, Water Orton, Coleshill, and Yardley stop.

Services[]

Marston Green is served by four trains per hour, to Birmingham New Street northbound of which one continues to Rugeley Trent Valley and three trains per hour to Birmingham International southbound of which one continues to London Euston via Northampton. Some services to/from London Euston are split at Northampton with one service running between Birmingham New Street and Northampton and another between Northampton and London Euston.

On Sundays, two trains per hour run to Birmingham New Street and there is an hourly service to Northampton with limited services continuing to London Euston. ^[2]
