History[]
Acocks Green was built for the community to allow the residents access to the industrialised Birmingham areas. Although never having a good yard, Acocks Green boasted 4 platforms with a loop line on the Northbound slow line. BR rationalization led to removal of the slow lines (and loop) in both directions and demolition of most of the platform to build the small car park.
