The station was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1885, the current station is slightly further along the line than the original. Langley Green used to have a platform for a branch to
Oldbury but this closed in 1915. A signalbox used to stand on the end at the Birmingham platform, the Oldbury branch using the other side of the platform. The station was rebuilt by Centro following the re-opening of
Birmingham Snow Hill.
The station has two platforms linked by a footbridge. Just beyond the
Rowley Regis end of the platforms is a level crossing. The station is managed by West Midlands Railway who provide a half-hourly service through most of the week. There are also a small number of Chiltern Railways services stopping at Langley Green including one a day from
London Marylebone.
