The Hawthorns was opened as part of the Jewellery Line which restored services to
Birmingham Snow Hill unlike the earlier station it is open every day the railway is open and not just on match days.
In 1999 the Midland Metro also opened stops next to the railway station. Access between the platforms is via an over bridge to the ticket hall and station entrances.
