Hagley railway station serves the English village of Hagley, Worcestershire. It was opened on 1 May 1852 as part of the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton railway. The station retains its GWR-era station building and its cast and wrought iron monogrammed GWR canopied footbridge dating from 1884. The footbridge was listed grade 2 in 2000 and the station and its environs sits within the West Hagley Conservation Area. The footbridge was used by Hornby as the basis for its plastic model.

The footbridge was fully repainted in late 2011, changing the colours of the bridge from navy blue and white to cream and salmon. This is the latest in a series of recent renovations to the station in 2011, including the installation of SmartCard readers at the entrance to the station and also the installation of live departure boards on both platforms.

Services

Services calling at Hagley are somewhat irregular during peak times, but generally Monday-Friday rush hour sees three to four trains per hour towards Birmingham, and three to five towards Kidderminster and Worcester. This lowers to two trains per hour each way during the day, with two services arriving in 20 minutes and then a further 40 minute wait for the next. Services pick up again at about 3pm to three to four trains per hour each way until and then through the evening rush hour, to cater for school children. Saturday services are similar, with early service patterns running a little longer into the morning, and a final service towards Birmingham leaving an hour later than usual.

Evening services are the same, except on Saturdays, which eventually give way to hourly timings. On Sundays, apart from a short period around the rush hours, trains are hourly in both directions. Chiltern Railways also operates a two there-one back service to London Marylebone on Monday to Fridays only.

Its nearest railway stations are Stourbridge Junction (towards Birmingham) and Blakedown (towards Kidderminster and Worcester).

In July 2011, Customer Information Screens were installed at the station, one for each platform.
