Alvechurch railway station serves the village of Alvechurch in Worcestershire, England. It is situated on the Birmingham Cross-City Line. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Central Trains. The station itself is an unstaffed station, barely bigger than a halt, with a bus-stop style shelter and only one platform.
[edit] Services
Trains operate every 30 minutes all day, every day, between Redditch and Birmingham New Street, then continuing to Four Oaks and Lichfield.
[edit] History
When the Cross-city line was upgraded and electrified in 1993 the platform at Alvechurch was resighted slightly to the north. The result of this is that as soon as the old plaform ends the new one begins. The former station building is now in private ownership.
