The station was opened in 2013 (unusually for a modern railway project several months
early!) to avoid passengers having to travel into Stratford (which suffers from traffic congestion) and providing far more parking spaces than the more contrained town centre station. The parkway station has seven hundred and twenty five spaces.
The station is unstaffed and has a ramped footbridge to allow access been the platforms. It is served by two West Midlands Railway trains an hour plus a Chiltern service (some which go through to
London Marylebone) every two hours.
