It was on the line into Birmingham Lawley Street from Water Orton.
Regular passenger services finished in 1968 but afterwards occasional excursions served the station for a few years but unknown when these ceased. [2]
Plans were made to reopen this station, with an estimated date of 2027. [3] However, this project has been put on hold indefinitely in July 2024 due to lack of funding. [4]
