Small Heath railway station

Small Heath railway station serves the areas of Small Heath and Sparkbrook in Birmingham, West Midlands, England. The station is managed by London Midland, which runs all the services.

The former Great Western Railway station building, opened in 1863 as Small Heath and Sparkbrook on their main line from London (Paddington) to Birkenhead (Woodside), is on a bridge which it shares with Golden Hillock Road (the B4145), over the tracks. The A45 Small Heath Highway runs alongside. To the other side is the site of the former BSA factory.

The 2007-2008 resignalling of the Birmingham to Warwick corridor has posed problems for Small Heath, as a large piece of signalling equipment has been erected blocking access to the disused island platform, and as a result would raise health and safety questions should the platform be reinstated.
