The station was opened by the London North Western Railway in 1876 adjacent to Villa Park. Next to the station was Witton Wharf goods depot, this site closed in 1970 [1] and is now occupied by a supermarket. The line through Witton was electrified in 1966.
The station is located on an embankment with ramps down to road level. The station is unstaffed with concrete canopies and waiting rooms. A bridge next to the station is painted in Aston Villa colours (though is in need of a refresh!)
