Bloxwich North was opened in 1990 to serve new housing on the Northern side of Bloxwich. The Chase Line itself only partially re-opening the year before (eventually the full line between Walsall and Rugeley Trent Valley was restored). Before opening the station was known as Broad Lane. The station was initially opened experimentally, however has remained open ever since (so the experiment must have worked!) From 2019 services at Bloxwich North have been by electric multiple units.

The station has basic facilities, with bus shelters and information screens and little else. Access between the platforms is via a road bridge which crosses the line [1]. The station is managed and served by West Midlands Railway with usually two trains in each direction during the day.
