Yardley Wood railway station serves the Yardley Wood area of Birmingham in the West Midlands of England. Located on the North Warwickshire Line, the station, and all trains serving it, are operated by London Midland.
The station platforms are accessed by ramps from Highfield Road, which crosses over the railway on a bridge just north of the station. The ticket office is located at road level, adjacent to the bridge.
The station was opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) on 1 July 1908, along with the line, and was originally known as Yardley Wood Platform.... Platform being a GWR term for a station which was intermediate between a halt and a station in importance and facilities; the suffix was later dropped. Unlike the previous and following stations on the line (Shirley and Hall Green) Yardley Wood was never provided with goods facilities. Most of the original station buildings are still intact.
During Monday to Saturday daytimes:
On Sundays, there is an hourly train between Worcester, Birmingham, Shirley and Stratford-upon-Avon.
