Stafford Road railway station served the city of Wolverhampton, England from 1850 to 1852 on the Wolverhampton-Shrewsbury line.
The station opened in October 1850 by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway. The station was situated to the west of Stafford Road at the present site of Stafford Road Junction. The station was served by six trains in both directions between Wolverhampton Temporary and Shrewsbury. On Sunday there were two trains in each direction. When the permanent station opened at on 24 October 1852, it was a short distance from Stafford Road station and so Stafford Road proved to be unprofitable and closed completely in July 1852.[1][2]
There is no evidence of the station's existence today.
