The station was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1855 on the line from London Paddington to Birkenhead (Woodside). The station originally had two platforms but was extended to have two island platforms when the line was quadrupled in 1915 [1]. Next to the station used to be extensive cattle sidings.
One island platform was removed during the 1960s. The station is now unstaffed with minimal facilities and service. It is only served by one scheduled train a week on a Saturday (from Whitlocks End). There are also extra services match days for fans going to the nearby stadium Birmingham City football club. The station is managed by West Midlands Railway.
