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.
Services[]
Mondays to Saturdays, daytime service is generally two trains per hour outside of peak times.
Northbound, there are two trains per hour to Birmingham Snow Hill. Most trains continue to Stourbridge Junction, Kidderminster or Worcester.
Southbound, there is one train per hour to Dorridge via Solihull and one train per hour to Whitlocks End via Shirley. London Midland proposed the closure of the ticket office.[1] The request has been denied.[2]
