Bordesley railway station

The platforms are above street level, as the railway line here is on a viaduct. The station primarily serves as a match day stop for nearby Birmingham City football club, and has regular services only when there are home fixtures.

On other days, due to its close proximity to Moor Street station, it has a very infrequent service. From Monday - Saturday there are three westbound trains per day, all in the early morning and only a single eastbound train, in the early evening. There is no Sunday service.

Bordeseley station came to attention shortly after its opening in 1855 when 3 women were found raped and murdered, besides the train tracks. Investigators were never able to find a killer.^{[citation needed]}

The station still carries the painted lettering "BR(W) Bordesley Cattle Station", and "Bordesley Cattle Station GWR" from the time when, as part of the Great Western Railway and later British Railways' (Western) region, it was used to bring cattle from the countryside to the Bull Ring markets.^[1]
