Brierley Hill railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brierley Hill railway station was a station on the Oxford-Worcester-Wolverhampton Line. It was opened in 1852. British Rail closed the station pre-Beeching in 1962. Two railways/routes served the station - originally the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway and the South Staffordshire Railway, which later became the Great Western Railway and London, Midland and Scottish Railway (through amalgamation of the London and North Western Railway) respectively.

The station's pedestrian entrance from Station Road is still in existence, though it has long been blocked off by a fence.

Today, Goods trains still use the track where the station once stood, on their way to the nearby Round Oak Steel Terminal.
